Product Description
The CARDONE 22-267 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly is precision-engineered to restore factory steering performance and reliability. Each rack and pinion is disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and rebuilt using new O.E.-style components, including seals, O-rings, and bushings, to guarantee leak-free operation and smooth steering response.
Every unit undergoes comprehensive hydraulic flow and pressure testing, ensuring optimal steering feel and consistent performance. A protective anti-corrosion coating extends the lifespan of each assembly. CARDONE’s eco-conscious remanufacturing process saves up to 80% in energy and raw material use compared to new production, without sacrificing performance or durability.
