Steering Rack with Tie Rods for BYD Han EV, OE 12642029-00

This is the steering gear with tie rod, and the fitment table on this page is where to check it rather than the badge on the car. Several BYD entries appear against this one. The reliable confirmation is the OE number 12642029-00 read from the rack already fitted, awkward as that is to reach. If you cannot get to it, send a photograph of the old part and its label through the quote route and we will confirm it against the OE number before you order anything.

HC-3401010 is the other reference this rack goes by, alongside the OE number 12642029-00. If your old unit is stamped with the first, you are looking at the right page. Clean the housing and read what is there, then compare it with both numbers on this page. If the rack is still in the car and unreadable from below, do not guess your way through it. Send a photograph of the old rack and its label through the quote route and we will confirm the reference before you spend anything.

This part is marked safety critical in our records. Steering is one of the systems where the fitting matters as much as the part, so have it done by a qualified technician with the equipment to set the car up afterwards. Tie rods come with the assembly, which is worth telling the fitter before the car goes in. Book the work in before the part arrives, and make sure whoever is doing it knows a full rack assembly is coming rather than a single joint.

Delivery time is confirmed with your quote. A steering rack is not a part to order once the car is already stripped, so get the timing settled first and keep the vehicle usable if it still is. If the dates matter for an MOT or a booked slot, ask through the quote route before ordering.

The packaging details are shown on this page. This one travels as an oversized item rather than an ordinary parcel. Give a delivery address where something of this length can be received and stored, and where somebody will be present. A domestic hallway is rarely the right answer. If the address is difficult, tell us before you order so the delivery can be arranged sensibly.

The material for this rack is metal and the condition is new. Weight is shown on this page. Keep it supported along its length when you move it and leave it in the packaging until the car is ready. Before the old rack comes out, set the new one beside it and check the OE number 12642029-00 and the tie rod ends match.

This rack sits under the body of the car, so it is reached from below with the vehicle raised properly rather than from inside the cabin. That is worth knowing before you commit, because it is not a driveway job on axle stands for most people. Use the fitment table on this page and the OE number 12642029-00 to be sure the unit you are ordering is the one down there.

One tier is offered for this steering gear, the Original/Genuine part from BYD. No Aftermarket equivalent exists for 12642029-00, so the price shown on this page is the only figure in play. Given that it is a steering component with the tie rods included, there is a case for the genuine unit anyway. If you want us to look for another source, or you want related steering parts quoted at the same time, send the OE number through the quote route with a photograph of the old part.
