Manual Steering Rack with Tie Rods for BYD Destroyer 05, OE 12546374-00

Yes. This one carries the OE number 12546374-00 and also HAD-3401010, and both references identify the same rack. The number on a fitted rack is usually stamped on the housing and hidden by grime and heat shielding, so it may take a wire brush and a torch to find. If you cannot read it, do not order from the appearance of the unit. Give us a photograph of the old part and its label through the quote route and we will confirm the correct rack against the fitment table.

Fitting this is a job for a qualified technician in a workshop with a lift and alignment equipment, because it is the steering rack, supplied with tie rods, and it is safety critical. Fitting involves the steering column connection and the track rod ends, and the car must have its geometry set before it goes back on the road. Order the part here once the fitment table matches your vehicle, and have the garage booked to do the work rather than attempting any of it yourself.

Delivery time is confirmed with your quote. A car waiting on a steering rack is a car that is not being driven, so plan the sequence carefully. The shipping cost is confirmed with your quote. Before you order, check the OE number on your old part against the one on this page.

The packaging details for this rack are shown on this page. Give a delivery address where it can be received properly, ideally the garage doing the work rather than a home address with a narrow hall or an upstairs entrance. Check the access at the delivery point before it is booked in, since a rack like this is awkward to carry through a tight doorway. If you are not sure the address will work, arrange for it to go straight to the workshop instead.

This rack is made from metal. That is consistent with its weight band and with the way it has to be handled once it arrives. Keep it in its packaging until the day of fitting, lay it flat rather than standing it on one end, and do not use the tie rods as handles when moving it about the workshop. Nothing about coating or finish is given here, so take the appearance from the images on this page rather than assuming.

That is why the job needs a lift. The images on this page are worth showing them, since the rack is supplied with its tie rods. Keep the old manual steering gear with tie rod until the new one is fitted, in case the two need comparing.

Because only the Original/Genuine tier exists for this OE number, with BYD as the maker and the condition given as New. A page shows a second tier only where an aftermarket equivalent has been sourced for that part, and both are then priced on the page. That has not happened for this rack, so the single version you can see is the whole of it. If you would like an aftermarket equivalent looked for, send this OE number through the quote route.
