Cardone is great re-manufacturer, I have 03-04 steering rack in my 95 and i feel NO DIFFERENCE. sorry. Unless you push the limit of your car may be...but i don't
When i got this i returned my GT rack as a core. they didn't ask no questions.
If you want the "Tight" feel of your steering wheel. You can pour LUCAS steering wheel fluid in your pump and it will get stiffer. lol.
