Product Description
The CARDONE 26-1797 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly delivers factory-grade steering performance and precision. Each unit is completely re-engineered, built, and tested to meet or exceed Original Equipment (O.E.) standards for fit, function, and reliability.
Every component is disassembled, cleaned, and inspected, with 100% new O.E.-style O-rings, seals, and lip seals installed to guarantee leak-free performance. Each rack undergoes full hydraulic testing for proper pressure, flow, and internal sealing before approval.
A durable protective coating resists corrosion and wear, while CARDONE’s micro-finished valve housings and precision rack surfaces ensure smooth steering feel and extended service life. Environmentally conscious remanufacturing reduces energy and raw material usage by up to 80% compared to new production.
