OE 1644600225 — Complete Steering Rack for Hyundai / Kia

A supersession happens when the maker revises a complete steering rack and issues a new tail number. The revision normally changes a small physical detail rather than the fit. Where we know a supersession chain for 1644600225 we list the current reference; ask our desk for written confirmation before a large order.

Position depends on the platform. On most Hyundai / Kia applications the complete steering rack sits on the suspension, steering & brake assembly and can be reached from the engine bay or the underbody without removing the dashboard. Torque figures and disassembly order are given in the workshop manual for each model.

Every shipment of 1644600225 leaves with a packing list, photo documentation and a QC report. Warranty terms are agreed per contract and reference that inspection record; claims are settled in writing against the documentation.

Four variables explain most of the spread: material grade, whether the goods are new production or clearance stock, packing format, and whether the quote is ex-works or landed. Ask for the material certificate alongside the price — that is what makes a comparison like-for-like.

KingMay supplies OEM-grade aftermarket parts built to the 1644600225 factory specification: material grade, dimensional tolerance and surface finish follow the original tooling. They are not dealer-boxed genuine parts, and we quote them that way so there is no ambiguity at customs.

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.
