Product Details
Cardone 26-2133 is a remanufactured electronic power steering rack and pinion assembly built around steel and aluminum construction with a black finish. The unit measures 48.44 inches in rack length, uses two mounting holes spaced 3.56 inches apart, and has a 3.19 total turns lock to lock.

Common Steering Problems It Can Address
- Hard steering during the first few minutes of driving
- Internal fluid bypass from worn rack seals
- Steering wheel not returning to center after a turn
- Power steering pump noise caused by air in the system after repair
- Steering play or inconsistent assist in hydraulic power steering systems
Installation Notes and Tips
For 2002-2007 Mitsubishi Lancer applications, install an in-line filter and use the suggested OE fluid. Flush the hydraulic power steering system during installation, especially when replacing a rack with inner tie rods. If steering does not return to center after installation, inspect front-end alignment and check the return line for restriction or kinks. Proper bleeding is important to remove air from the system and reduce pump whine.
Quality Assurance
Each Cardone rack and pinion assembly undergoes a factory test drive under demanding operating conditions to confirm performance and on-car communication. The remanufacturing process reuses the core while replacing wear items and reducing raw material and energy use compared with building a new part. Cardone 26-2133 is remanufactured to rigorous quality and performance standards for Mitsubishi Lancer steering repair.
