Product Description
The CARDONE 26-2450 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly delivers O.E.-level performance, precision, and reliability in a cost-effective and environmentally responsible design. Each unit is completely re-engineered, rebuilt, and tested to meet or exceed original factory standards.
Every assembly features 100% new O.E.-style seals, O-rings, and spool valve components for long-lasting, leak-free operation. The rack surfaces are precision-machined to prevent internal fluid bypass between chambers and to maintain accurate, responsive steering.
Each unit is protected with a corrosion-resistant coating for enhanced durability, and micro-finished valve housings ensure smooth, consistent steering feel. Before shipping, every rack undergoes rigorous hydraulic testing for pressure, flow, and leakage performance to ensure a perfect fit and function in your vehicle.
CARDONE’s remanufacturing process is also environmentally sustainable, reducing raw material and energy consumption by up to 80% compared to new part production — all without sacrificing performance or quality.
