Product Details

For the Hyundai Elantra, part number 26-2411 is built with polished micro-finish valve sleeves where applicable, replaced rubber sealing components, and a finish that helps protect the housing from corrosion. The result is a steering gear assembly intended for drivers addressing steering play, fluid leakage, or inconsistent assist in the hydraulic steering system.

Common Steering Issues It Can Address
- Steering fluid leaks from the rack housing or seals
- Excessive steering play or loose steering feel
- Hard steering after startup or during low-speed driving
- Whining caused by air in the hydraulic steering system after repair
- Poor return-to-center caused by rack wear or restricted hydraulic flow
Installation Notes
For 2001-2006 Hyundai Elantra applications, install an in-line filter and use OE fluid. Flush the hydraulic power steering system during installation, especially when replacing the rack and pinion assembly with inner tie rods for warranty validation. After installation, bleed the system completely to remove air and verify proper steering return and assist.
Quality Assurance
Each Cardone electronic power steering rack and pinion assembly undergoes a factory test drive that simulates extreme operating conditions and checks on-car communications. The remanufacturing process replaces all rubber sealing components and uses specialized lubricant to support durability, while the earth-friendly process reduces energy and raw material use compared with manufacturing a new part.
