Steer your full-size SUV with precise, power-assisted control using the A1 CARDONE rack and pinion assembly (26-2603). This remanufactured unit converts your steering-wheel input into the side-to-side motion that turns the front wheels, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 1998-2002 Lexus LX470 and the 1998-2002 Toyota Land Cruiser. CARDONE re-engineers, builds and tests each assembly to meet or exceed O.E. fit and performance.
Signs the original rack and pinion may need replacing include power-steering fluid leaks, hard or uneven steering effort, excessive play in the wheel, or a whine from the steering system. Diagnose the cause before replacing, since these symptoms can have other sources. If a worn or leaking rack is the cause, this assembly replaces it. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the engine and application for your vehicle.
