Product Details

Cardone 27-5004 is a manual steering gear box designed for vehicles that use a manual steering gear setup rather than power steering. It features a 25 + flat & groove input shaft spline count, a splined single-flat input shaft type, three mounting holes, and a 6.4 lock-to-lock turn ratio. This steering gear is built to match OE performance expectations while supporting dependable steering feel in older Chevrolet and GMC platforms.

This part cross-references Chevrolet and GMC OE number 7815989 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Excessive steering play in manual steering systems
• Rough or inconsistent steering wheel response
• Fluid leakage from worn internal seals
• Wear-related steering gear noise or binding
• Corrosion on an aging steering gear assembly

Installation Notes

Verify manual steering gear application before ordering. Confirm input shaft dimensions, spline count, mounting-hole count, and steering box type against the original unit. This steering gear does not include a pitman arm. Professional installation and a post-installation steering inspection are recommended for proper alignment and safe operation.

Quality Assurance

Each Cardone remanufactured steering gear is re-engineered and tested to match OE performance standards. The remanufacturing process also reduces energy and raw material use compared with producing a new part, supporting a more resource-efficient repair choice.
