The housing is made from plastic and includes a rubber seal, with a compact design that uses two mounting holes and multiple outlet ports to match the cooling-system layout used on select Kia Sportage, Kia Sorento, Kia Optima, Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Santa Fe, Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, and Hyundai Tucson applications. If you are replacing a worn or leaking thermostat housing on a Kia Sportage or Hyundai Sonata, CH1026 provides a direct replacement format for the specified fitments. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks \u0026amp; Struts (e.g., 9CH1026, 256202GGA0) for the same application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat It Helps Address\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCoolant leaks at the thermostat housing or water outlet connection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCracked or heat-damaged plastic housing surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeal failure that can lead to coolant loss.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooling-system service needs on lower outlet assemblies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitment issues caused by a mismatched replacement housing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits 2015-2019 Hyundai Sonata, lower; 2017-2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, lower; 2018 Hyundai Tucson, lower; 2016-2019 Kia Optima, lower; 2016-2019 Kia Sorento, lower; 2017-2020 Kia Sportage, lower; 2019-2020 Hyundai Santa Fe, lower; 2020 Kia Optima, lower; 2020 Kia Sorento, lower; 2021-2022 Kia Sportage, lower.
