Product Description
The CARDONE 27-5203 Remanufactured Steering Gear Box is engineered to meet or exceed original equipment performance, restoring precise directional control and confident handling. As the central component of the steering system, the gear box translates steering wheel rotation into controlled wheel movement, ensuring predictable steering response.
Each unit is fully remanufactured and rigorously tested to ensure long-lasting reliability. 100% new O-rings and lip seals provide superior leak prevention and durability, even under extreme temperature and pressure conditions. Shafts are resurfaced to exact specifications to prevent premature seal wear and extend service life.
Every unit is also subjected to 100% hydraulic testing, validating flow characteristics, internal pressure regulation, steering effort, leakage resistance, and overall performance. CARDONE’s rust-inhibitive “Cool Dip” coating penetrates and covers all external surfaces to protect against corrosion, cracking, peeling, and flaking.
With eco-friendly remanufacturing that reduces raw material and energy usage by up to 80%, this steering gear box offers dependable performance with a reduced environmental footprint.
