Product Description
The CARDONE 26-3032 Remanufactured Rack and Pinion Assembly is engineered to restore OE steering precision and durability for Infiniti G35 and Nissan 350Z models. Each unit is fully remanufactured using stringent quality controls, with all critical wear components—including OE-style O-rings, lip seals, spool valve seals, and rack donut seals—replaced to ensure long-lasting, leak-free performance.
Rack surfaces are precision-machined to strict tolerances to prevent chamber cross-leakage, providing consistent hydraulic assist and steering response. Polished micro-finish valve sleeves (where applicable) enhance durability and reduce internal friction. Every rack undergoes 100% hydraulic and performance testing to verify pressure, flow, steering effort, and leak integrity.
A protective coating is applied to shield the housing from corrosion and environmental exposure. As a remanufactured OE unit, the 26-3032 ensures exact fitment, proper steering geometry, and dependable operation. CARDONE’s sustainable remanufacturing process reduces energy and raw material usage by up to 80%.
