Product Description
The CARDONE 26-2603 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly delivers the same fit, performance, and reliability as a brand-new OEM unit — at a fraction of the cost. Each assembly is completely re-engineered, built, and tested to meet or exceed original equipment (O.E.) specifications.
All internal seals, O-rings, and spool valve components are 100% replaced with new, O.E.-style materials to ensure long-lasting, leak-free operation. The rack housing and internal surfaces are precision-machined to prevent fluid bypass and ensure consistent steering response.
Each unit receives a protective anti-corrosion coating to extend its service life, while micro-finished valve housings and rigorous hydraulic flow testing ensure smooth, precise steering control under all conditions.
CARDONE’s remanufacturing process is also eco-conscious — reducing energy consumption and raw material use by up to 80%, helping protect both your vehicle and the environment.
