Product Description
The CARDONE 26-2611 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly is precision-engineered and thoroughly tested to deliver the performance, reliability, and steering feel of a brand-new OEM unit. Each assembly is meticulously remanufactured using advanced processes that restore original function and fit while ensuring long-term durability.
All internal seals, O-rings, and valve components are 100% replaced with new O.E.-style materials to provide superior resistance to leaks and wear. Internal surfaces are precision-machined to factory specifications, ensuring consistent steering response and smooth hydraulic operation.
Every unit receives a protective anti-corrosion coating, and each assembly undergoes comprehensive hydraulic testing for pressure, flow, and leak-free performance. CARDONE’s environmentally responsible remanufacturing process also conserves up to 80% of the energy and raw materials required to produce new components.
