Common Steering Issues This Part Addresses

• Hard steering during the first few minutes of driving
• Power steering pump whine caused by air in the system after rack replacement
• Steering that does not return to center after a turn
• Internal bypass from worn spool valve or sealing surfaces
• Fluid leaks from worn rack seals or sealing rings

Installation Notes and Tips

For warranty purposes, install an in-line filter, use the suggested OE fluid, and flush the steering system before operation. Bleed the system completely after installation to remove trapped air and reduce pump noise. If the steering does not return to center, check front-end alignment and inspect the return line for restriction or kinks. Verify the vehicle sales code and steering configuration before ordering, since these applications use speed proportional steering and hydraulic power steering.

Quality Assurance

CARDONE remanufactures this rack and pinion assembly to OE-level fit and function, then factory test drives each unit to verify operation under demanding conditions. The process replaces all rubber sealing components, uses new premium internal seals where applicable, and applies a specialized lubricant to support durability. The remanufacturing process also reduces the energy and raw material needed to produce a new part by 80%.
