Product Description
The CARDONE 26-2722 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly is expertly rebuilt to restore precise steering control, responsiveness, and reliability. Each unit is re-engineered, tested, and quality-assured to meet or exceed original equipment (O.E.) specifications for fit, function, and performance.
Every assembly features 100% new O.E.-style O-rings, seals, and valve components, ensuring long-term leak-free performance. Units undergo comprehensive hydraulic testing to verify correct flow, pressure, and functionality before leaving the facility.
A durable protective coating enhances resistance to rust and corrosion, prolonging the life of the steering system. By reusing high-quality core components and replacing all wear items, CARDONE’s remanufacturing process saves up to 80% in energy and raw materials compared to manufacturing new parts.
