Product Description
The CARDONE 26-3083 Remanufactured Rack & Pinion Assembly is engineered to restore original steering precision, performance, and reliability. Every unit is completely re-engineered, remanufactured, and tested to meet or exceed O.E. standards.
All internal seals, O-rings, and valve components are replaced with 100% new, O.E.-style materials to ensure leak-free, long-term operation. Each rack is subjected to rigorous hydraulic testing for proper pressure, flow, and steering feel.
A protective corrosion-resistant coating safeguards against harsh conditions, while precision-polished valve housings deliver smooth and consistent performance. Additionally, CARDONE’s remanufacturing process is environmentally responsible, conserving up to 80% of the raw materials and energy required for new part production.
