ACDelco Rack-and-Pinion Gears
At ACDelco, we take precise measures to achieve perfection. In fact, before the remanufactured process begins, all pump, rack and gear cores are critically inspected. Those that pass inspection are thoroughly disassembled, cleaned and remanufactured to the level of quality you expect from ACDelco. Inferior cores are discarded.
We use premium-quality components, which include many brand-new (not just reconditioned) parts — and that's what sets us apart from the competition.
