Remanufactured products only require 15-20% of the total energy and material it takes to manufacture
new parts while keeping usable cores out of landfills.
CARDONE's skilled technicians and engineers can completely rebuild your part and return it to you,
good as new. Learn More.

Product & Technical
Are the racks the same design as my original?
Yes, all units produced are verified to function to O.E. design specifications. Potential O.E. failure modes are evaluated and validated improvements are made.Are there any precautions before I install?
Yes, the steering wheel must be held in a straight-ahead position using a suitable tool to prevent rotation while the intermediate shaft is disconnected from the rack and pinion. Failure to do so can result in damage to the clock spring within the steering column. If rotation of the intermediate shaft is suspected, the clock spring must be removed and re-centered.What do you replace on the rack?
Rubber seals, dust boots, wear items, lubricant(s), clamps and bearings are replaced 100%. Dampers, lock washers and drive belts are replaced where applicable.Can I install one of your racks on my custom or classic vehicle?
Not recommended; radical modifications would be needed for installation of a modern electronic steering rack and pinion on a vehicle other than the O.E .Manufacturer intended application.Do I have to do any type of relearn after installation?
Yes, these systems are equipped with torque angle sensors in the steering column that need to be recalibrated after installation of the replacement rack and pinion.
Core
What is a core?A core is a used automotive part that is returned to the remanufacturer instead of being scrapped.
Why return cores?
Cores are literally at the “core” of the remanufacturing process, because they are the raw material used to start the remanufacturing process. That’s why remanufacturers buy cores back from customers, and they pay the most for good quality cores. If a core has too much damage in key areas, it may be unusable or require extra resources to process; therefore a reduced core payment may be awarded. This core policy explains potential deductions that may be taken from the core price if certain components are missing or damaged.
What is remanufacturing?
Remanufacturing is the process of taking used parts, completely disassembling and thoroughly cleaning them, replacing the worn components with original quality components, and restoring them to their original function. Every unit is 100% tested to ensure O.E. performance.
Why “reman”?
PRODUCTS - Reman captures used, durable goods like auto parts and puts them “back on the road” to new and sometimes better than new performance. Reman provides the opportunity for detection of common failure modes and incorporation of design improvements to prevent repeat failure.
ECONOMY - Reman products cost consumers about 40% less than new. Reman products are one of the few “green” products that actually costs less than their “non-green” counterparts.
ENVIRONMENTAL - Reman saves up to 86% of the energy required to build a new unit. Reman realizes Greenhouse Gas savings of up to 25 lbs. per unit over new. Reman saves up to 85% of the raw material required to produce a new unit by reusing existing products. Reman is even more sustainable than recycling, as product castings are preserved rather than melted down to raw material, saving energy and reducing emissions.
