Product Details

CARDONE’s Electronic Power Steering Rack and Pinion line focuses on remanufactured steering components that are rebuilt to rigorous quality and performance standards. For this application, the rack is factory tested to simulate extreme operating conditions while checking on-car communications, then finished with new sealing components and a specialized lubricant to support long-term reliability. The result is a steering rack assembly intended for direct replacement on compatible Dodge Neon and Plymouth Neon hydraulic power steering systems.

This part cross-references Dodge and Plymouth OE numbers 4626890 and 4656350 for the same application. Part number 22-328 is a practical choice when replacing a worn steering rack on a 1995-1997 Dodge Neon or Plymouth Neon.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

  • Excessive steering play or loose steering feel
  • Fluid leakage from the rack and pinion assembly
  • Hard steering after startup, often described as morning sickness
  • Steering that does not return to center due to internal wear or restricted flow
  • Power steering pump noise caused by air in the system after rack service

Installation Notes

Before installation, confirm the vehicle uses Standard Steering (SBA) and hydraulic power steering, and verify the body code sales information when needed. CARDONE recommends installing an in-line filter, using the suggested OE fluid, and flushing the system to help protect the replacement rack and pinion assembly. After installation, bleed the steering system completely to remove trapped air and check alignment if the steering does not return to center.

Each unit is remanufactured to CARDONE’s quality standards, then factory test driven to confirm operation under demanding conditions. Rubber sealing components are replaced, corrosion-resistant finishing is applied, and the assembly is built to deliver OE-style fitment for the listed Dodge Neon and Plymouth Neon applications.
