Product Details

Maval Remanufactured Rack and Pinion 9185M is engineered for the Infiniti J30 steering system and matches the listed application for 1993-1997 models. The assembly uses steel and aluminum casting materials, an O-ring hose connection, and the specified pressure and return port thread sizes to support proper hydraulic routing. With inner tie rods included and a 2.81 lock-to-lock turn ratio, this rack and pinion assembly is built for steering response and fitment consistency on the Infiniti J30. This part cross-references Cardone Reman 26-1877 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Noise or binding during steering input

Installation Notes

Verify the input shaft diameter, rack length, and port thread sizes against the original unit before installation. Confirm the vehicle is a 1993-1997 Infiniti J30, N/A, and transfer any vehicle-specific steering connections or calibration steps required for the electronic solenoid system. After installation, inspect for leaks, center the steering wheel, and perform a professional alignment.
