Product Details

Mando 14A1001 is a steering rack and pinion assembly engineered as a direct OE replacement for the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento. The steering rack is a critical part of the vehicle’s steering system, translating steering wheel input into controlled wheel movement. When the original unit wears out or develops internal leakage, steering feel and response can change noticeably.

This part number 14A1001 is listed for 2011-2013 Kia Sorento and 2010-2012 Hyundai Santa Fe models with the noted OE configuration. Mando’s New Original Equipment line focuses on replacement parts that match the original application for Hyundai and Kia vehicles.

Installation Notes

Professional diagnosis is recommended before replacement, especially if the vehicle shows steering noise, fluid loss, or abnormal steering effort. Verify the vehicle’s OE configuration against the listed fitment before ordering. After installation, the steering system should be inspected and aligned according to service procedures.
