Product Description
The CARDONE 26-2435 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly restores steering precision, control, and reliability to your vehicle. Every unit is re-engineered, remanufactured, and performance-tested to meet or exceed original equipment (O.E.) standards.
Each rack is built with 100% new O.E.-style O-rings, seals, and spool valve components to eliminate internal and external leaks. The assembly housing is precision-machined to exact tolerances, preventing cross-leaks between hydraulic chambers and ensuring smooth, consistent steering performance.
To protect against corrosion and extend service life, each rack receives a durable protective coating. Micro-finished valve housings and comprehensive hydraulic testing guarantee reliable operation under all driving conditions.
As part of CARDONE’s eco-friendly remanufacturing process, the 26-2435 rack reduces raw material and energy usage by up to 80% compared to new production — maintaining superior quality while promoting sustainability.
