I can't speak for a yard booster but always try to avoid Cardone because of poor quality control. They rebuild lots of parts buy I've had things like starters and alternators test bad out of the box. I put a reman brake master on a 78 Datsun & it had an internal leak when installed. A steering box for a Dodge Ram wouldn't return to center. The replacement had to be adjusted on install and now has so much play that it will be replaced with another from a different re-builder.

That said, a steering rack for the Datsun was less expensive than inner tie rods alone and is working. The Ram alternator is also working at 15,000 mi. Apparently, sometimes Cardone gets lucky..
