TERREPOWER formerly BBB Industries Rack and Pinion Assembly P/N:313-0161
Restore smooth, hydraulic-assisted steering with the TERREPOWER (formerly BBB Industries) Remanufactured Power Steering Rack and Pinion Assembly, MPN 313-0372. This premium-quality remanufactured unit is built for dependability and reliability throughout the service life of the vehicle, and it drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2010-2013 KIA FORTE [All] and the 2012-2013 KIA FORTE5 [All]. The rack and pinion converts the rotation of the steering shaft into the side-to-side motion that turns the front wheels, using hydraulic pressure to assist steering effort.
If a worn or leaking rack is the cause of hard steering, fluid seepage, a whining pump, or loose, wandering steering, this assembly replaces it. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
