Steering Rack for Kia Sorento: Ceramic Composite
This steering rack for the Kia Sorento is specified around ceramic composite, which decides how it behaves in service far more than the part name does. We build to a written specification — base material, dimensions, finish and packing — and hold that specification on file so every reorder reproduces the approved piece.
The usual reason a programme changes supplier is not unit price. It is packing that arrived crushed at the port, or a fitment that looked right on paper and failed on the bench. Both are specification problems, and both are preventable.
