Product Details

This Maval remanufactured rack and pinion assembly is built for Toyota Celica steering service where precise rack travel and correct hydraulic port sizing matter. The 9131M uses a seat-style hose port design, one mounting hole, and a 2.69 turns lock-to-lock specification to match the steering feel expected in the listed Celica applications. This part cross-references Cardone Reman 26-1687 for the same application.

As part of Maval’s Remanufactured Rack and Pinion line, the 9131M is focused on steering gear replacement for vehicles that need a rebuilt OE-style assembly rather than a repair of individual internal components. For Toyota Celica owners searching for a remanufactured rack and pinion for 1989-1993 Toyota Celica models, this part provides the core dimensions and port/thread details needed for a proper match.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing a worn or leaking steering rack
• Correcting steering play or inconsistent steering response
• Addressing hydraulic steering fluid leakage at the rack assembly
• Restoring steering effort and rack travel in the listed Toyota Celica applications
• Servicing a damaged rack and pinion assembly during steering system repair

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle build date before ordering: this part fits 1989 Toyota Celica from 9/89, 1990-1992 Toyota Celica, and 1993 Toyota Celica to 8/93. Confirm the pressure and return port thread sizes, input shaft dimensions, and rack length against the original unit before installation. Because steering components affect vehicle control, professional installation and a complete alignment are recommended after replacement.

Quality Assurance

Maval remanufactures steering components to service OE-style applications with attention to fitment-critical dimensions and hydraulic connections. The 9131M is a remanufactured rack and pinion assembly intended for direct replacement in the listed Toyota Celica models.
