Product Details

This CARDONE Rack and Pinion Assembly, part number 22-348, is engineered for vehicles with electronic power steering rack requirements and remanufactured to match original equipment fit and function. The steel and aluminum housing, 50.25-inch rack length, 3.125 total turns lock to lock, and O-ring hose ports support accurate steering feel and proper hydraulic connection. It uses M18 x 1.5 pressure port threads and M16 x 1.5 return port threads, with a 14.25-inch mounting hole distance and three mounting holes for the listed applications. This part cross-references Chrysler 4743142AD and Dodge 4797706 for the same application.

Common Steering Problems It Can Address

• Hard steering during the first few minutes of driving
• Internal fluid bypass from worn rack seals
• Steering that does not return to center after a turn
• Power steering pump whine caused by air in the system after service
• Corrosion-related wear on the steering rack housing

Installation Notes

For the listed Chrysler Town & Country, Voyager, Dodge Caravan, Dodge Grand Caravan, and Chrysler Grand Voyager applications, install an in-line filter and use OE fluid. Flush the hydraulic power system when installing the rack and pinion assembly with inner tie rods for warranty validation. Bleed the steering system completely to remove air and verify proper return-to-center operation after installation.

Quality Assurance

CARDONE remanufacturing replaces worn sealing components, applies specialized lubricant, and uses a factory test drive to confirm performance and on-car communication checks. The process is also positioned as earth-friendly because it reduces the energy and raw material needed to produce a new part by 80%.
