Steering Rack with Tie Rods for BYD e3 & e2, OE 12413420-00

It is. Steering components regularly carry more than one number because the vehicle maker and the supplier catalogue them separately. Read whatever is stamped or labelled on the unit you are removing, including anything on the housing that is hidden by dirt. Where the number matches either reference on this page you are on the correct listing. Where it matches neither, send a photograph of the old part and its label through the quote route before anything is ordered.

This rack is a safety critical component, and that is the answer to the question. Steering is the last thing to take a guess at. The car has to be raised and supported, the steering has to be set up correctly afterwards, and the tightening figures belong to the vehicle maker rather than to us, so they are not published here. Book it with a garage that can carry out a wheel alignment once the rack is in and can road test the car. Keep the old unit until that check is done.

Delivery time is confirmed with your quote. Given the size of the item and the garage time the job takes, order it first and only book the ramp once the rack is with you, unpacked and compared with what is on the car. The shipping cost is confirmed with your quote.

The packaging details are shown on this page. Before it arrives, make sure there is a clear run through any doorway or passage between the entrance and where you plan to put it. Have somewhere flat ready to lay the whole carton down once it is inside. Check the ends of the carton for damage while the driver is still there, and note anything you see before signing for it.

Metal is the material for this rack. In practice that means a proper lift when it comes out of the carton, and it means the unit should not be swung about by the tie rods while it is being moved. Nothing beyond the material is described here, so nothing beyond that is claimed. Use the images and the fitment table on this page for the rest of the comparison.

Underbody. It is reached from below with the car raised and not from inside the engine bay, and the assembly includes the tie rods. That access requirement is part of why this is a garage job and not a driveway one. Check your own build against the fitment table on this page before ordering, and have the unit unpacked and compared with the one on the car before the workshop starts stripping anything down.

Only the Original/Genuine BYD rack is sourced against OE 12413420-00, so this page carries one version instead of two price tiers. No Aftermarket equivalent has been brought into the catalogue for this reference. On a steering component many buyers would choose the original in any case, so the single option is not the constraint it might be on a trim part. If you want the position checked, send the OE number and your vehicle details through the quote route and ask before you place an order.
