Description:
The CARDONE 26-2617 Remanufactured Rack and Pinion Assembly is precision-engineered to deliver factory-level steering performance and long-term reliability for Lexus and Toyota vehicles with hydraulic power steering. Each unit is completely disassembled, cleaned, and re-machined to original specifications, then rebuilt with 100% new O.E.-style seals, O-rings, and spool valve components for superior leak prevention and steering precision.
Every rack undergoes full hydraulic testing to confirm correct pressure, flow, and sealing integrity, ensuring smooth, responsive steering under all driving conditions. The housing and internal surfaces receive a protective coating for corrosion resistance and extended life. CARDONE’s sustainable remanufacturing process conserves up to 80% of the materials and energy required for new part production—delivering a reliable and environmentally friendly alternative to OEM replacements.
