The CARDONE 26-3014 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly restores your vehicle’s steering performance to like-new condition. Each unit is re-engineered, precision-built, and 100% tested to meet or exceed Original Equipment (O.E.) standards.
All components feature brand new O.E.-style seals, O-rings, and spool valve parts, ensuring leak-free operation and long service life. Every assembly undergoes extensive hydraulic and performance testing to confirm proper flow, pressure, and smooth steering response.
To enhance durability, each rack is finished with a protective anti-corrosion coating, and the internal valve housings receive a polished micro-finish for smooth and consistent operation. The CARDONE remanufacturing process also supports sustainability—reducing energy and material consumption by up to 80% compared to new production.
