Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Remanufactured Power Steering Gear by Cardone - Model 27-8416 by Francisco Garcia

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good and cheap for transmissions

Looks pretty decent. The wheel is now turned a few degrees to the right. It looks like the gears have been cut a few degrees in one direction. This is a small issue that can be fixed with alignment. Although personally I think it should match the part I removed. I'm a mechanic by trade and all the splines have been aligned, I've triple checked. I've installed the steering box many times, at least 5 in the last year, so it's not inexperience. The cogs feel a bit tight in the middle of the wheel travel, which has me constantly adjusting the wheel as it doesn't find the middle smooth, although I expect this to be a temporary effect as it wears out. It's not leaking yet and otherwise offers decent hydraulic support. For the money I can't complain much. Sending my old ones in the mail was pretty painless. Edit: The tightness has decreased with use. There was no leak for several months, I got used to the fact that the steering wheel is slightly tilted to the right.
