Product Details

Cardone Rack and Pinion Bushing Kits are engineered to match OEM form, fit, and function while simplifying steering rack service. The 22-207MB uses rubber mounting bushings with steel inserts to help control rack movement and maintain consistent steering feel. For drivers servicing a Ford Mustang, Mercury Cougar, or Lincoln Mark VII, this kit provides a focused repair for worn rack bushings without replacing the full steering assembly.

The Rack and Pinion Bushing Kit product line is built for steering repairs where the mounting points have deteriorated, allowing the rack to shift under load. By renewing those bushings, the steering system can regain tighter mounting stability and more predictable road feedback.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Loose or vague steering feel
• Clunking or knocking from the steering rack area
• Excessive rack movement at the mounting points
• Worn, cracked, or compressed steering bushings
• Reduced steering precision on older Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models
