Detailed Description

This PWR rack and pinion assembly, part number 42-2441, is built for steering systems that require a hydraulic setup and OE-style fitment. It is a direct replacement for select 2006-2012 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon models, plus related 2006-2007 Isuzu i-280, i-350, i-290, and i-370 applications.

This assembly includes inner tie rods, but mounting hardware and mounting brackets are not included. Verify inlet and outlet line fitting size and gender before installation, and inspect related steering components for wear during replacement.
