Product Description
The CARDONE 26-2140 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly is built to restore original steering performance and precision. Each unit is meticulously re-engineered, tested, and validated to meet or exceed O.E. performance standards for fit, function, and durability.
All units are completely disassembled and cleaned, then rebuilt using 100% new O.E.-style O-rings, lip seals, and spool valve seals to eliminate leaks and ensure long-term reliability. The rack housings are precision-machined and surfaced to prevent cross-leaks and maintain consistent hydraulic performance.
A durable protective coating resists corrosion, while micro-polished valve sleeves enhance smooth steering feel and longevity. Every rack is fully hydraulic and performance tested to confirm proper flow, pressure, and sealing integrity.
The CARDONE remanufacturing process conserves resources and reduces environmental impact by using up to 80% less energy and raw material than manufacturing a new component.
