Maval 93329M Rack and Pinion Assembly

Maval 93329M Rack and Pinion for Kia Forte

The Maval 93329M is a remanufactured rack and pinion assembly for hydraulic power steering applications on the 2010-2013 Kia Forte. Built with steel and aluminum casting materials, it is specified with O-ring hose ports, M16 x 1.5 pressure and return threads, and tie rod ends included for a direct steering gear replacement.

As part of Maval’s Remanufactured Rack and Pinion line, this assembly is rebuilt for steering-system service where OE-style fit and hydraulic port configuration matter. The 93329M is a fitment-based replacement for Kia Forte models with hydraulic power steering, and it cross-references Cardone Reman 26-2449 for the same application.
