What It Helps Fix

Installation Notes and Tips
For 2007-2012 Acura RDX installation, use OE fluid and install an in-line filter. Flush the hydraulic power steering system when replacing the rack and pinion assembly with inner tie rods for warranty validation. Bleed the steering system completely after installation to remove trapped air and reduce pump noise. Check front-end alignment and inspect the return line for kinks or restrictions if the steering does not return to center.
Quality Assurance
Each Cardone electronic power steering rack and pinion undergoes a factory test drive that simulates demanding operating conditions while checking on-car communication. Rubber sealing components are replaced, specialized lubricant is applied, and the unit is finished with a protective coating to support long-term durability. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part.
