Product Description
The CARDONE 26-1690 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly is designed to restore precise steering control and factory performance. Each unit is re-engineered, built, and tested to meet or exceed original equipment (O.E.) standards for fit, function, and reliability.
Every rack is completely disassembled, cleaned, and inspected, with all critical wear components replaced with 100% new O.E.-style seals, lip seals, and O-rings. Precision-machined internal surfaces eliminate cross-leaks, ensuring consistent steering response and long-lasting performance.
A protective coating enhances durability against corrosion, while CARDONE’s hydraulic flow, pressure, and leak testing ensures each rack performs flawlessly before it leaves the factory. The remanufacturing process is environmentally responsible, using up to 80% less energy and raw material compared to producing a new part.
