Steering Rack with Tie Rods for BYD Yuan UP, OE 12740266-00

This item has two references. The OE number is 12740266-00 and it is also known as SC2E-3401010. A rack carrying the second string is the same item you are looking at here, so a difference at first glance does not mean you are on the wrong page. Clean the old unit and read the full reference rather than the leading block of characters. If what you have matches neither of ours, send us the string you can read through the quote route on this page and we will check it against the OE number.

Yes. This steering gear is safety critical, which means a fault in the fitted part affects control of the car rather than comfort or appearance. Steering work belongs with a qualified technician who has the right equipment for setting the car up again afterwards. We publish no fitting instructions or settings for it here, because that material comes from the vehicle manufacturer and belongs in their own documentation. Order against the OE number 12740266-00, then let your garage handle the fitting and any alignment work the job calls for.

Delivery time is confirmed with your quote. Packaging details for this rack are shown on this page. Plan any garage booking around the far end of that window rather than the near end. The shipping cost is confirmed with your quote. Before you order, check the number on your old part against OE 12740266-00.

The packaging details are shown on this page. Length rather than mass governs how a part like this moves, and a long package goes out on a pallet or oversize freight service instead of a standard courier round. Two things follow from that. Someone needs to be at the address to take it in, and there has to be room to carry it through to wherever it will wait. Check your access against the packaging details on this page before you book the garage slot.

Metal is the material for this steering gear, supplied with the tie rods as part of the same assembly named on this page. In practice that means a solid unit rather than a trim item. Metal also means the reference is usually stamped or cast into the body of the housing where it can be read once the dirt is off. Look for 12740266-00 or SC2E-3401010 there before ordering.

This one mounts underbody, so it sits below the cabin floor line and is reached from beneath the car rather than from the engine bay. That has two practical effects. The car needs raising properly on a lift or on stands before anything can be unbolted, and the old unit will normally be dirty enough that the reference on it wants cleaning before you can read it. Compare what you find there with the OE number 12740266-00 shown on this page, then check your own BYD Yuan UP against the fitment table on this page.

This steering gear appears once on the page, as the Original/Genuine part from BYD. No Aftermarket version exists for OE 12740266-00, so there is a single option rather than a choice of two tiers. Nothing is being held back from you. Check the OE number stamped on your old unit before ordering, to be sure it matches. If you would like us to look for another route to this part, send a photograph of the old unit and its label through the quote route on this page, along with the model detail from your registration document.
