Product Description
The CARDONE 26-2746 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly restores precise steering control and O.E. performance while offering an eco-friendly, cost-effective solution. Each unit is re-engineered, built, and rigorously tested to meet or exceed original equipment (O.E.) specifications for fit, reliability, and function.
All internal components—including spool valve seals, rack donut seals, and O.E.-style O-rings—are replaced with brand-new materials to ensure leak-free, long-lasting performance. Every rack undergoes full hydraulic testing to verify proper flow, pressure, and steering response.
A protective anti-corrosion coating is applied to safeguard against rust and extend the lifespan of the unit. CARDONE’s environmentally responsible remanufacturing process conserves up to 80% of energy and raw materials compared to manufacturing new parts.
