Flush the hydraulic power steering system when installing the rack and pinion assembly with inner tie rods for warranty validation. Verify front-end alignment after installation and bleed the system completely to remove trapped air. Cardone 26-2132 uses a 0.71 in input shaft diameter, 5.51 in input shaft length, 4 mounting holes, and a 52.63 in rack length.
Quality Assurance
Each unit is remanufactured to rigorous quality and performance standards, then factory test driven to confirm operation under extreme conditions. The process replaces all rubber sealing components, applies a specialized lubricant, and finishes the housing with corrosion-resistant coating for added durability. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
