Mechanical Steering Rack 56500-E4000 sits at a Kia Soul generation change. Kia recall documentation links the number to the 2014MY Soul (PS), with affected production beginning in July 2013. The site’s “2013-on” wording should therefore be read as a production boundary, not a claim for every vehicle registered in 2013.
| Catalogue item | Kia Soul 2013-on Mechanical Steering Rack |
|---|---|
| OE reference | 56500-E4000 |
| KITLAMT number | KL-YX8919 |
| Construction class | Mechanical steering rack |
| Official vehicle context | 2014MY Soul (PS), production beginning during 2013 |
| Model year versus build year | A 2013 build date does not necessarily mean 2013MY; read the production label. |
|---|---|
| Platform code | Confirm PS and avoid mixing it with numbers used on the preceding Soul generation. |
| Engine selection | Aftermarket lists cover several powertrains, so displacement alone cannot select the rack. |
| Cross-reference | 56500-B2000 appears in related records; verify any supersession through a VIN catalogue. |
For a Soul built in the second half of 2013, include build month, model year, platform and a clear OE label in the enquiry.
| Knock at the pinion area | Inspect the support, fastening and inner joints; do not alter internal preload without measurement. |
|---|---|
| Loose steering centre | Trace free play from wheel and column through the input shaft to the rack. |
| Non-uniform resistance | With the vehicle safely raised, check binding in the rack, column joints and front suspension pivots. |
| Possible campaign history | Ask the local Kia channel to check campaign status by VIN; a parts page cannot decide recall eligibility. |
| Required identifiers | VIN, build month, market, platform, engine and original OE image. |
|---|---|
| Mechanical views | Input end, housing mounts, tie rods and nearby connections. |
| During removal | Control steering-wheel and column position to avoid misalignment or excessive rotation. |
| Completion record | Confirm smooth full travel and centred steering, then align and run system diagnostics. |
| Does it fit every 2013 Soul? | No. Kia’s document concerns a 2014MY PS population built from July 2013. |
|---|---|
| Does the recall document prove fitment? | It confirms the number’s vehicle context; the individual VIN and installed part still decide. |
| Should rack preload be adjusted by feel? | No. Incorrect preload can create poor return or excessive effort. |
