OE 31320-82631 — Starter Drive Gear for Hyundai / Kia

Match three things: the code on the part you are removing, the build-year range in the Applications table, and the mounting points visible in the reference photo. If all three line up, 31320-82631 is a confirmed fit. Send your VIN and our export desk will double-check the ambiguous cases.

Three checks: the code printed on your old part must read 31320-82631; 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.

Aftermarket starter drive gear comes from tooling houses that hold the original drawings or licensed equivalents. KingMay sources from vetted factories and inspects each batch; the manufacturer name is available on request where your market requires origin documentation.

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.

Yes, if the alternate shares the same engineering envelope. Shortlist candidates from the Related OE References table, then check bolt pattern, electrical pinout and material grade. A difference in any of those three means it is a different part, not a substitute.

Every shipment of 31320-82631 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.
