Cardone 1G-1811 Rack and Pinion Assembly

Electronic Power Steering Rack Overview

CARDONE 1G-1811 is a remanufactured rack and pinion assembly built for vehicles using electronic power steering with a manual rack design. It is engineered for direct OE-style fitment on select Chevrolet Cobalt, Pontiac G5, Pontiac G4, Pontiac Pursuit, and Saturn Ion applications.

This rack and pinion assembly uses an aluminum casting, black protective finish, and includes inner tie rods. The remanufacturing process replaces all rubber sealing components, adds new spool valve and rack donut seals where applicable, and applies specialized lubricant for longer service life.

• Remanufactured standard replacement rack and pinion assembly
• Includes inner tie rods
• Aluminum casting with black steering rack finish
• All rubber sealing components replaced
• Specialized lubricant applied during remanufacturing
• Factory test driven under extreme operating conditions
• Protective coating helps resist corrosion and rust
• Remanufactured OE part for direct vehicle fit

Product Details

The CARDONE Rack and Pinion Assembly, Part Number 1G-1811, is built for steering systems that require a manual rack with electronic power steering communication. CARDONE’s remanufacturing process focuses on restoring original function while replacing wear items and verifying operation through factory testing. This makes it a practical replacement for drivers searching for a remanufactured rack and pinion for 2005-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt, 2007-2010 Pontiac G5, 2005-2006 Pontiac G4, 2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuit, or 2003-2007 Saturn Ion.

This part cross-references Chevrolet 10367075 and Saturn 15140344 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Steering play or looseness from a worn rack assembly
• Internal fluid leakage caused by worn seals
• Rough or inconsistent steering response
• Noise from deteriorated steering rack components
• Corrosion-related wear on the steering housing

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s service parts identification sticker and steering configuration before ordering. This assembly is for applications with Soft Ride Suspension (FE1) where noted, and it includes inner tie rods. Mounting brackets, outer tie rods, and gasket or seal components are not included unless explicitly listed.

Confirm rack length, input shaft dimensions, and mounting hole spacing against the original unit before installation. Professional alignment is recommended after replacement.

Quality Assurance

Each CARDONE electronic power steering rack and pinion undergoes factory testing that simulates demanding operating conditions and checks on-car communications. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.
