Description:
The CARDONE 26-3023 Remanufactured Rack and Pinion Assembly is precision-engineered to restore OEM steering performance and reliability for heavy-duty Nissan and Infiniti vehicles equipped with hydraulic power steering. Each unit is completely disassembled, inspected, and rebuilt with 100% new O.E.-style O-rings, lip seals, and spool valve components to eliminate leaks and deliver smooth, consistent steering.
Every assembly undergoes 100% hydraulic testing to verify proper flow, pressure, and leak-free performance. Racks are re-machined to precise tolerances to prevent internal cross-leaks and finished with a corrosion-resistant coating for long service life. Environmentally responsible remanufacturing conserves up to 80% of the energy and raw materials required to produce new components—delivering high-quality performance while reducing environmental impact.
