Product Description
The CARDONE 27-7560 Remanufactured Steering Gear is built to restore precise, OE-style steering feel on popular GM compact trucks/SUVs and Jeep SUVs, as well as select Buick Roadmaster and Chevrolet B-body models. As the core of the steering system, this gear box translates steering wheel input into accurate front-wheel movement, delivering confident, predictable handling on the street or highway.
Each 27-7560 unit is fully remanufactured and 100% hydraulically tested to verify proper fluid flow, internal pressure, leakage control, and steering effort. All O-rings and lip seals are replaced with brand-new components to ensure long-lasting, leak-free performance. The input and output shafts are resurfaced to precise specifications to help prevent premature seal wear and extend service life.
The housing is finished with CARDONE’s rust-inhibitive Cool Dip coating, a penetrating dye that evenly covers all exposed surfaces and resists cracking, flaking, and peeling. Built as a remanufactured OE steering gear, the 27-7560 is a direct bolt-on replacement for specified Chevrolet S10/Blazer, GMC Sonoma/Jimmy, Isuzu Hombre, Jeep Cherokee/Grand Cherokee/Wrangler/TJ, and select Buick and Chevrolet passenger cars.
CARDONE’s environmentally conscious remanufacturing process can reduce energy use and raw material consumption by up to 80% compared to producing a brand-new steering gear.
