TERREPOWER formerly BBB Industries Rack and Pinion Assembly P/N:N310-0163
Put steering input back in command of the front wheels with the TERREPOWER (formerly BBB Industries) Rack and Pinion Assembly 213-0163, a direct-fit replacement for the 2016-2018 Kia Sorento. This rack-and-pinion assembly handles the core steering job: rotating the steering wheel turns the pinion gear, which drives the rack side to side and moves the front wheels through the tie rods.
Signs the original assembly may need replacing include excessive play or looseness in the wheel, hard or uneven steering effort, clunking during turns, wandering, or uneven tire wear. If a failed rack-and-pinion assembly is the cause of these symptoms, this unit replaces it; diagnose the cause before ordering. Have the steering alignment checked after installation.
