OE 028198401E — Con Rod for Hyundai / Kia

Treat it as a wear item: inspect every 20,000-30,000 km and replace at the first sign of leakage, noise or performance loss. Real service life swings widely with climate, road surface and duty cycle, so mileage on its own is a weak indicator.

Wholesale pricing for 028198401E depends on order quantity, surface treatment and packing. Standard references are quoted ex-Guangzhou with tiered pricing from 10 pieces upward — send quantity and destination port and a quotation usually returns within one business day.

The Related OE References table above lists the alternates we see most often in trade inquiries. Cross-references work because the engineering envelope is shared across the suspension, steering & brake family — always confirm dimensions and connector layout before you swap.

Three checks: the code printed on your old part must read 028198401E; the number must fall inside the build-year range in the Applications table; and the connector, thread or bolt pattern must match the reference photo. Codes cast into the housing are the most reliable source.

Incoming batches pass a dimensional check, a material look-up against the suspension, steering & brake specification, and a visual inspection for finish defects. Critical dimensions are measured per carton and the photographs are archived against the order number.

Stock references leave Guangzhou within 7 working days. If 028198401E needs a production run, allow 25-35 days depending on quantity and surface treatment. The schedule is confirmed in writing when the order is placed.
