The steering rack in my 2007 Elantra needs to be replaced. I bought a new one from Hyundai and it does not match the old one. I am told the new part supersedes the old one but the bolt holes do not line up. The old part number is 56500-2H000 and the new part number is 56500-2L300. Is there an installation kit or something I need to buy? Any Suggestions?

What I would do is take the old rack to the place you purchased the replacement and see why they don't agree, there has to be something wrong there.

 

The biggest problem was Tony error. They do line up. The only thing I have to figure out is what bolts to use to put it in. The old bolts for the end that had the bracket are too short for the new one that has a cast area where you bolt it on at both ends. The bolts were grade 8 so I got grade 8 M12 x 1.25 in the same length at the bolts that fastened the cast portion on the original. It appears they will be long enough.
Thank you for the reply.
