Product Description
The CARDONE 22-297 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly delivers precise steering performance and long-lasting reliability by restoring your vehicle’s steering system to O.E. quality and specifications. Each unit is fully disassembled, cleaned, and rebuilt using top-grade materials and advanced processes to ensure a perfect fit and flawless function.
Every assembly undergoes 100% hydraulic testing to verify flow, pressure, and performance under real-world conditions. The use of new O.E.-style seals, O-rings, and lip seals guarantees leak-free operation and smooth steering response. Each unit receives a protective coating to guard against corrosion, while precision-machined components ensure long-term durability and performance.
CARDONE’s remanufacturing process not only ensures premium quality but also saves up to 80% in energy and raw materials compared to producing new parts — making it a smart, sustainable choice for both your vehicle and the environment.
