Product Description
The CARDONE 26-2401 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly restores the precise steering feel, control, and reliability of your Subaru’s original steering system. Each unit is meticulously re-engineered, remanufactured, and tested to meet or exceed original equipment (O.E.) performance standards.
Every assembly receives 100% new O.E.-style O-rings, lip seals, and spool valve seals to prevent leaks and ensure long-term durability. All housings and internal components are precision-machined to exact tolerances, eliminating cross-leaks between chambers and guaranteeing smooth, responsive steering.
Each rack is finished with a protective corrosion-resistant coating, while micro-finished valve housings deliver long-lasting steering consistency. CARDONE also performs comprehensive hydraulic and performance testing on every unit to ensure perfect pressure, flow, and responsiveness before it leaves the facility.
The remanufacturing process is environmentally responsible, cutting energy use and raw material consumption by up to 80% compared to new parts—all while maintaining O.E. quality and fitment.
