Product Details

Cardone Rack and Pinion Assembly 22-1117 is remanufactured to meet rigorous quality and performance standards for the Hummer H3.

Installation Notes

Fits 2006-2008 Hummer H3, N/A. For warranty purposes, install a filter with the suggested OE fluid and flush the system. This application fits with a 14 mm diameter tie rod and includes inner tie rods; an in-line filter is available. Bleed the steering system completely after installation to remove air and verify smooth assist. Check front-end alignment and inspect return lines for restriction or kinks if steering does not return to center.
