Product Details
Cardone Rack and Pinion Assembly 26-1822 is built for BMW steering systems that require a remanufactured replacement with OE-style dimensions and hydraulic connections. The unit features a 38.75-inch rack length, 3.25 total turns lock to lock, Banjo/Washer hose ports, M14 x 1.5 pressure port thread size, and M16 x 1.5 return port thread size. Cardone’s remanufacturing process replaces sealing components, applies specialized lubricant, and verifies on-car communications during testing to help restore steering performance.
This part cross-references BMW 32111139315 and 32131140828 for the same application. Cardone 26-1822 is a practical choice for BMW Z3 steering rack replacement, BMW E36 rack and pinion service, and other listed BMW 318i, 325i, and M3 fitments.
Common Steering Issues This Part Can Address
- Hard steering during the first few minutes of driving
- Internal fluid bypass from worn spool valve or rack seals
- Power steering pump whine caused by air in the system after service
- Steering that does not return to center after a turn
- Corrosion-related wear in the steering rack housing
Installation Notes
For listed BMW applications, install an in-line filter and use OE fluid. Flush the hydraulic power steering system when installing the rack and pinion assembly with inner tie rods for warranty validation. If steering does not return to center, check front-end alignment and inspect the return line for restriction or kinks. Air in the system must be fully bled to prevent pump noise.
Quality Assurance
Each Cardone electronic power steering rack and pinion assembly undergoes factory testing that simulates demanding operating conditions and checks on-car communications. The remanufacturing process also reduces the energy and raw material needed to produce a new part by 80%.
This part fits 66 vehicles
