Product Description
The CARDONE 26-1978 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly is engineered and performance-tested to restore precise steering response and dependability. Every unit is remanufactured to O.E. specifications for perfect fit, function, and performance.
Each rack and pinion undergoes complete disassembly, cleaning, and inspection, followed by the installation of 100% new O.E.-style O-rings, seals, and lip seals to ensure leak-free operation. The housing and internal components are precisely machined to prevent internal leaks and maintain consistent hydraulic pressure.
A durable protective coating is applied to resist corrosion, while micro-finished valve housings ensure smooth steering control. Every unit is subjected to 100% hydraulic and performance testing before shipping, guaranteeing long-lasting performance and reliability.
Environmentally conscious remanufacturing saves up to 80% in energy and raw materials compared to producing a new part.
