Product Details

This Cardone Rack and Pinion Assembly line focuses on remanufactured steering components that match OE fitment requirements while restoring steering performance. Part number 22-2001 is built with polished micro-finish sleeves where applicable, new spool valve seals, and rack donut seals to help control internal bypass and maintain consistent steering feel. For Ford Mustang owners, this assembly supports direct replacement service on listed hydraulic power steering applications, including 2006-2009 Mustang with 18-inch wheels, 2009 Mustang with 18-inch alloy wheels, and 2010 Mustang with 19-inch wheels. This part cross-references Ford 4R3Z3280A and 7R3Z3504A for the same application.

Common Steering Issues It Can Address

  • Hard steering during the first few minutes of driving
  • Internal fluid bypass caused by worn rack seals
  • Steering that does not return to center after a turn
  • Power steering pump whine caused by air in the system after service
  • Steering play or inconsistent steering response from a worn rack assembly

Installation Notes

Compatible With 2006-2010 Ford Mustang, hydraulic power steering configurations listed in the fitment data. For warranty validation on applicable installs, use the suggested OE fluid, flush the hydraulic system, and install an in-line filter where noted. Check front-end alignment after installation, and inspect return lines for restriction or kinks if the steering does not return to center. Bleed the system completely to remove air and reduce pump noise.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone 22-2001 rack and pinion undergoes a factory test drive to confirm operation under extreme conditions and verify on-car communications. The remanufacturing process replaces all rubber sealing components and uses new premium parts to support long-term reliability. Cardone’s remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
