Detailed Description

CARDONE 1G-2414 is engineered as a remanufactured Original Equipment-style steering rack for vehicles that use electronic power steering with a manual rack. It is listed for 2011 Hyundai Sonata with Sport Steering, 2011-2014 Hyundai Sonata with Sport Steering, 2011 Kia Optima, 2012-2013 Kia Optima Korean Built, 2013 Kia Optima USA Built from 02/28/2013, and 2014-2015 Kia Optima. This part cross-references Hyundai and Kia OE numbers, including 565002T100 and 565002T000, for the same application.

Built around a black aluminum rack housing with a 43.500-inch rack length and 14.125-inch mounting hole spacing, this assembly is intended to restore steering response and rack integrity on the listed Hyundai Sonata and Kia Optima applications. The remanufacturing process also reduces raw material and energy use compared with producing a new part.

What It Helps Fix

• Steering play or looseness from worn rack components
• Internal fluid leakage caused by aged seals
• Rough or inconsistent steering feel
• Noise related to worn steering rack internals
• Corrosion-related wear on the steering rack housing

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle build details before ordering, especially for 2013 Kia Optima USA-built and Korean-built applications and Hyundai Sonata models with Sport Steering. Confirm the rack length, mounting hole spacing, and input shaft dimensions against the original unit before installation. Inner tie rods are included; outer tie rods are not included. Follow the supplied instruction sheet and perform a professional alignment after installation.

Quality Assurance

Each CARDONE rack and pinion assembly is remanufactured to rigorous quality and performance standards and then factory test driven to confirm operation and communication under demanding conditions. Replaced seals, protective coating, and specialized lubricant are used to support durability and consistent steering performance.
