Product Description
The CARDONE 27-6528 Remanufactured Steering Gear Box is engineered to restore precise steering response and OE-level durability. As the core of the steering system, the gear box converts steering wheel rotation into controlled wheel movement, ensuring safe, predictable, and responsive handling.
Every unit is fully remanufactured and rigorously inspected to eliminate OE design weaknesses. 100% new O-rings and lip seals ensure long-lasting, leak-free performance, while shafts are resurfaced to exact specifications to prevent early seal failure and extend service life.
Each gear box undergoes 100% hydraulic testing, confirming correct fluid flow, internal pressure regulation, steering effort, and leak resistance. CARDONE’s corrosion-resistant Cool Dip finish provides complete surface coverage, preventing peeling, flaking, and rust formation.
Built through CARDONE’s eco-friendly remanufacturing process, this gear box reduces raw material and energy consumption by up to 80%, delivering high-quality performance with a lower environmental impact.
