What It Helps Address

  • Steering play or loose steering feel
  • Internal rack leakage
  • Hard steering after startup
  • Power steering fluid bypass issues
  • Steering that does not return to center after alignment and hydraulic checks

Installation Notes

For 2007-2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser installation, use OE fluid, install an in-line filter, and flush the hydraulic power steering system when replacing the rack and pinion assembly with inner tie rods for warranty validation. The pressure port thread size is M16 x 1.5, the return port thread size is M17 x 1.5, and the hose port type is seat. Verify front-end alignment after installation and inspect the return line for restriction or kinks if steering does not return to center.

Quality Assurance

Each unit undergoes Cardone’s factory test drive process to simulate demanding operating conditions and confirm on-car communication. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part, while replacing all rubber sealing components to support long-term reliability.
