What It Helps Address

• Hard steering during cold start or the first few minutes of driving
• Internal fluid bypass caused by worn rack seals
• Steering noise related to air in the hydraulic system after service
• Poor return-to-center caused by steering system restriction or wear
• Leakage from aging rack and pinion sealing components

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2009-2010 Ford Expedition, N/A; install an in-line filter and use OE fluid.
• Fits 2009-2010 Ford F-150, N/A; flush the hydraulic power system during installation.
• Fits 2009-2010 Ford F-150, N/A; without Heavy Duty Trailer Tow Package, includes inner tie rods.
• Fits 2008 Lincoln Navigator, N/A; remanufactured rack and pinion assembly.
• Fits 2009-2010 Lincoln Navigator, N/A; install an in-line filter and use OE fluid.

After installation, bleed the steering system completely to remove trapped air. If the vehicle does not return to center, inspect front-end alignment and check the return line for restriction or kinks.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone 22-2039 unit is factory test driven under simulated operating conditions to confirm steering function and on-car communication. The remanufacturing process replaces all rubber sealing components, uses new seals where applicable, and applies specialized lubricant to support durability. Cardone also notes that its remanufacturing process reduces the energy and raw material needed to produce a new part by 80%.
