Common Steering Issues It Can Address
- Hard steering during the first few minutes of driving
- Internal fluid bypass caused by worn rack seals
- Steering pump whine related to air in the hydraulic system after service
- Steering that does not return to center after a turn when alignment or return flow is affected
- Leakage from worn sealing surfaces in the rack and pinion assembly
Installation Notes
For 2002-2006 Mazda MPV installation, use OE fluid and install an in-line filter as noted in the fitment guidance. Flush the hydraulic power steering system during installation, especially when replacing the rack and pinion assembly with inner tie rods. Bleed the system completely after service to remove trapped air and verify smooth steering operation.
Quality Assurance
Each Cardone electronic power steering rack and pinion undergoes a factory test drive that simulates extreme operating conditions and checks on-car communication. The remanufacturing process replaces sealing components, applies specialized lubricant, and uses protective finishing to support durability and consistent performance. The process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with manufacturing a new part.
