CARDONE Reman Rack and Pinion Assembly P/N:26-2418
Keep your steering smooth and responsive with the A1 CARDONE rack and pinion assembly 26-1613, a remanufactured steering rack that installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1996-2000 Toyota RAV4. The rack and pinion converts steering-wheel rotation into the linear motion that turns the front wheels, so a worn or leaking unit is a common cause of hard steering, fluid leaks, and loose or wandering response.
A protective coating is applied to help extend the life of the unit where applicable, and this remanufactured Original Equipment part is built as a direct-fit replacement for the listed 1996-2000 Toyota RAV4 application. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the correct engine for your vehicle.
