Product Details

This PWR rack and pinion assembly is built for 2010-2013 Kia Forte vehicles equipped with hydraulic power steering. The hydraulic design supports steering response through the power steering system, while the direct-fit configuration helps match the original steering layout. PWR 42-2993T is also cross-referenced to 262446 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Steering play or looseness in the rack and pinion assembly
• Fluid leakage from worn internal seals
• Noise during steering input from a failing hydraulic unit
• Uneven or inconsistent steering feel
• Wear-related steering system performance loss on a Kia Forte

Installation Notes

Verify hydraulic power steering before ordering. Mounting hardware is not included, so reuse or source the required hardware separately as needed. Replace worn seals and inspect tie rod ends, steering fluid condition, and related suspension components during installation. After installation, perform a professional alignment and bleed the hydraulic steering system according to service procedures.

Quality Assurance

PWR tests each rack and pinion assembly for leaks, pressure, noise, and function before release. The unit is USA engineering approved and built to support consistent steering performance in the specified Kia Forte applications.
