Product Description
The CARDONE 26-3038E Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly restores your vehicle’s steering performance with precision engineering and proven reliability. Each unit is re-engineered, assembled, and rigorously tested to meet or exceed O.E. standards for fit, function, and durability.
All internal seals, O-rings, and spool valve components are 100% replaced with new, O.E.-style parts to ensure leak-free operation and consistent steering performance. Each rack is fully hydraulic and performance tested for proper pressure, flow, and steering response.
A durable protective coating guards against corrosion and environmental wear, while polished valve housings ensure smooth, responsive steering control. CARDONE’s remanufacturing process is also eco-conscious, reducing raw material and energy consumption by up to 80% compared to new manufacturing.
