Product Description
The CARDONE 26-2703 Remanufactured Rack and Pinion Assembly is engineered to restore precise steering control and OE-level hydraulic assist performance for select Acura TL and Honda Accord applications. Each unit is fully disassembled, inspected, re-engineered, and tested to meet or exceed original equipment specifications.
Brand-new OE-style O-rings, lip seals, spool valve seals, and rack donut seals are installed to eliminate internal leaks and ensure long-lasting, reliable performance. Rack surfaces are precision-machined to prevent chamber cross-leakage, maintaining consistent steering effort and hydraulic pressure. Valve housings receive polished micro-finish sleeves (where applicable), enhancing durability and reducing friction.
Each rack undergoes 100% hydraulic and performance testing to validate pressure, flow, effort, and leak integrity. A protective coating is applied to resist corrosion and extend service life. As an OE-remanufactured part, the 26-2703 guarantees direct fitment and correct steering geometry, while CARDONE’s eco-conscious remanufacturing process reduces raw material and energy consumption by up to 80%.
