Common Steering Issues This Part Can Address

  • Hard steering during the first few minutes of driving
  • Internal fluid bypass from worn seals or spool valve leakage
  • 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 in the steering rack housing

Installation Notes

For 1983-1986 Toyota Camry installation, use an in-line filter and OE fluid, and flush the hydraulic power steering system when installing the rack and pinion assembly with inner tie rods for warranty validation. Bleed the steering system completely after installation to remove trapped air and verify smooth operation.

Quality Assurance

Each CARDONE electronic power steering rack and pinion undergoes factory testing that simulates demanding operating conditions while checking on-car communications. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part, while replacing worn sealing components to support reliable service.
