Product Description
The CARDONE 26-2625 Remanufactured Rack and Pinion Assembly is engineered to restore OE steering performance and hydraulic assist reliability for Toyota 4Runner and Tacoma applications. Each rack is fully remanufactured, using brand-new OE-style seals, O-rings, spool valve seals, and rack donut seals to eliminate internal leaks and maintain consistent hydraulic pressure.
Precision surfacing of the rack prevents chamber cross-leakage, while polished micro-finish valve sleeves (where applicable) improve durability and reduce internal friction. Every unit undergoes complete hydraulic and performance validation to ensure proper flow, pressure, steering effort, and leak-free operation. A protective coating helps defend against corrosion for long-lasting performance in demanding environments.
As a remanufactured OE part, the 26-2625 ensures a direct-fit installation, proper steering geometry, and reliable operation. CARDONE’s environmentally conscious remanufacturing process reduces raw material and energy consumption by up to 80%, offering a sustainable alternative to new-production components.
