The rack length measures 53.00 in. with 2.88 turns lock to lock, 4 mounting holes, and a 0.66 in. input shaft diameter.

Common Steering Issues It Can Address

  • Hard steering during the first few minutes of driving
  • Internal fluid bypass from worn spool valve or sealing surfaces
  • Steering that does not return to center after a turn
  • Power steering pump whine caused by air in the system after repair
  • Leaks at rack seals or related hydraulic connections

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, verify the vehicle option codes and steering system configuration on the Service Parts Identification sticker. For warranty-related service guidance, CARDONE recommends installing an in-line filter where available, using the suggested OE fluid, and flushing the system thoroughly. The steering system must be bled completely after installation to remove air and prevent pump noise. If the vehicle does not return to center, inspect front-end alignment and check the return line for restriction or kinks.

Quality Assurance

Each 22-1042E rack and pinion assembly undergoes CARDONE’s factory test drive process to confirm performance and on-car communication under demanding conditions. The remanufacturing process replaces worn rubber sealing components and uses new premium parts to support reliable operation. CARDONE also notes that its remanufacturing process reduces the energy and raw material needed to produce a new part by 80%.
