Product Details

This Cardone Rack and Pinion Assembly, part number 26-2607, is remanufactured to meet rigorous quality and performance standards for Toyota Sienna steering service.

Common Steering Issues It Can Address

• Hard steering during the first few minutes of driving
• Power steering pump whine caused by air in the system after rack replacement
• Steering that does not return to center after a turn
• Internal fluid bypass from worn spool valve sealing surfaces
• Leaks from aged rack seals and related steering components

Installation Notes

For 2000 Toyota Sienna applications, install in-line filter and use OE fluid; flush the hydraulic power steering system during installation. For 2001-2003 Toyota Sienna applications, follow the listed service notes and verify the system is fully bled after installation. Front-end alignment should be checked after steering component replacement, and the return line should be inspected for kinks or restriction if the wheel does not return to center.

Quality Assurance

Each unit is factory tested to verify operation under demanding conditions and communication performance on the vehicle. CARDONE remanufacturing also replaces sealing components, applies specialized lubricant, and uses an earth-friendly process that reduces the energy and raw materials needed versus producing a new part.
