Nissan Steering Rack OE Guide: 48001 vs 49001

Three current Nissan catalogue records illustrate why a similar OE prefix is only a search clue. Rack type, vehicle application, steering position and physical evidence still decide the correct record.

Published July 28, 2026 · Based on currently published KITLAMT catalogue records
Short answer: do not use 48001 or 49001 as an interchangeability rule. In the records below, the numbers belong to different applications, include both mechanical and hydraulic racks, and cover both LHD and RHD.

Three records, three separate identities

The table records published catalogue facts; it does not declare the references interchangeable. Keep the complete suffix, catalogue code and application attached to every enquiry.

What the numeric prefix can and cannot tell you

A prefix can help locate a catalogue family, but it is not a physical specification. The Navara and A32 records both begin with 49001, yet one is LHD and the other RHD, and their complete reference groups are different. The Tiida record begins with 48001 and is listed as a mechanical rack.

Do not extend those observations into a universal Nissan numbering rule. Confirm the full original label and the installed assembly for the specific vehicle.

A practical comparison sequence

  1. Read and photograph the entire original label.
  2. Match the full reference, including every letter and suffix.
  3. Confirm the vehicle application, production year, sales market and steering position.
  4. Compare housing, input, mounts, connections and both ends.
  5. Keep the selected KITLAMT code on the request until the review is complete.
