Detailed Description

Atlantic Automotive Enterprises remanufactures electric power steering racks through a controlled process that starts with core inspection and selection. Each unit is disassembled, cleaned, shot-peened, and rebuilt with wear components replaced before final balancing, tensioning, fault clearing, cycling, and vehicle simulation testing. The result is a remanufactured rack and pinion assembly intended to deliver consistent steering response and OE-style operation. This ER6040 application is listed for 2016-2022 Acura ILX, and the part number ER6040 should be verified against the original unit before installation. This part cross-references Honda 53601TV9A02 for the same application.
