Product Description
The CARDONE 26-2701 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly is meticulously re-engineered and tested to deliver original equipment (O.E.) quality steering performance and reliability. Each unit is disassembled, cleaned, and rebuilt with 100% new O.E.-style seals, O-rings, and components for long-lasting, leak-free operation.
Every assembly undergoes comprehensive hydraulic testing to verify proper flow, pressure, and performance before leaving the factory. A protective anti-corrosion coating is applied to extend the lifespan of the unit, ensuring dependable operation under all driving conditions.
