Product Description
The CARDONE 22-1145 Remanufactured Rack and Pinion Assembly is engineered to deliver OE-level steering precision and long-term durability for full-size GM SUVs and trucks. Each unit is fully re-engineered and validated to meet or exceed original performance specifications, ensuring consistent hydraulic assist, precise steering feel, and dependable operation under heavy vehicle loads.
Every rack undergoes 100% hydraulic and performance testing to confirm correct flow, pressure, steering effort, and leak-free functionality. Critical sealing components—including OE-style O-rings, lip seals, spool valve seals, and rack donut seals—are replaced with brand-new components to eliminate internal leaks and prevent premature wear. Rack surfaces are precision-machined to maintain proper separation between hydraulic chambers, extending service life and maintaining consistent steering response.
Where applicable, valve housings feature polished micro-finish sleeves to enhance durability, and all units receive a protective external coating to guard against corrosion. As an OE-remanufactured part, the 22-1145 ensures a direct-fit installation and maintains factory steering geometry. CARDONE’s remanufacturing process also reduces environmental impact by using up to 80% less raw material and energy than producing a new rack.
