Product Description

CARDONE Remanufactured Rack & Pinions are re-engineered, built and tested to meet or exceed O.E. fit and performance. 100% new, O.E.-style o-rings and seals are installed to ensure leak-free, long-lasting performance. A final protective coating is applied and each unit is tested to guarantee a perfect fit and function.


  • Protective coating applied to each unit to extend the life of the unit (where applicable).
  • 100% performance testing to ensure perfect fit, function and reliable performance.
  • 100% hydraulic testing for proper flow, leakage and performance ensures perfect fit and function (where applicable).
  • Racks are surfaced to precise specifications to prevent leaking between chambers and extend unit life.
  • 100% new O.E.- style o-rings and lip seals ensure leak-free and long-lasting performance (where applicable).
  • All new spool valve seals and rack donut seals are installed to eliminate internal leaks and ensure reliable performance (where applicable).
  • Valve housings have polished micro-finish sleeves for durability (where applicable).
  • As a remanufactured Original Equipment part, this unit guarantees a perfect vehicle fit.
  • Our remanufacturing process is earth-friendly, as it reduces the energy and raw material needed to make a new part by 80%.
  • Complete the Check It Fits tool and confirm all information in the Fitment Details section above to ensure you select the right part for your application.

    Product & Technical

    I replaced the rack and now the power steering pump is whining. It never did this before! What happened?
    The most likely cause of a power steering pump whine is air in the system. The steering system must be bled. This may take a few attempts depending on the design of the system.


    Are there any steps that should be done prior to alignment?
    Yes, the boot clamps must be loosened to set the toe adjustment when performing a front-end alignment. Failure to loosen the clamps will twist the boots during turning maneuvers causing cracks to form on boot. Once the boot is torn, road debris and water intrusion can damage the rack end seal.


    The steering wheel is not returning to center coming out of a turn. What could be causing this?
    The geometry of the front suspension is designed to return the steering wheel to center coming out of a turn. If the steering wheel is not returning to center on its own when coming out of a turn, check the front-end alignment settings and inspect for binding steering components.


    The replacement rack and pinion is installed and the steering wheel has too much play. Should I adjust the rack?
    No. The rack and pinion has been adjusted at the factory. No additional adjustment is necessary. Try isolating the rack to find out where the play exists. If you hold the inner tie rod and have someone turn the wheel, does the play disappear? If so, the problem is in the front-end; if not, remove the steering knuckle and lightly install vise grips on the sector shaft and check for play. If no play exists, check steering column or steering knuckle.


    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.
