Detailed Description

This Maval remanufactured rack and pinion assembly, part number 93389M, is built for 2007-2011 Kia Rondo applications with 17 in. tires. It uses an O-ring hose port design, a steel and aluminum casting, and a 2-hole mounting layout to match the original steering gear configuration. The 2.75 turns lock-to-lock specification supports predictable steering response, while the listed port thread sizes and shaft dimensions help confirm proper replacement selection.

• Fluid leakage from the rack and pinion assembly
• Uneven or inconsistent steering response
• Excessive steering effort or binding
• Wear in the original steering gear on a Kia Rondo

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle is a 2007-2011 Kia Rondo with 17 in. tires before ordering. Match the pressure and return port thread sizes, input shaft dimensions, mounting hole spacing, and rack length to the original unit. After installation, the steering system should be inspected, aligned, and bled according to service procedures to restore proper steering feel.
