Product Details
This Cardone Rack and Pinion Assembly, part number 22-257, is built for steering systems that require precise hydraulic control and reliable on-car communication. It features a 44.75-inch rack length, 3.5 total turns lock to lock, 11.25-inch mounting hole spacing, and a 0.73-inch input shaft diameter. The remanufacturing process replaces worn sealing components, adds a specialized lubricant, and finishes the housing for added durability. This part cross-references Ford 1L5Z3504EARM for the same application.
Common Steering Issues It Can Address
- Hard steering during the first few minutes of driving
- Power steering pump whine caused by air in the system after service
- Steering that does not return to center after a turn
- Internal fluid bypass from worn spool valve sealing surfaces
- Leaks or loss of steering assist from deteriorated rack seals
Installation Notes
Compatible With 2001-2012 Ford Ranger, 2001 Ford F-100 Ranger, 2001-2007 Mazda B3000, 2001-2007 Mazda B4000, and 2009 Mazda B4000. For warranty validation, install an in-line filter, use OE fluid, and flush the hydraulic power steering system when replacing the rack and pinion assembly with inner tie rods. If the steering does not return to center, inspect front-end alignment and check the return line for restriction or kinks.
