Hyundai Ioniq 5 Steering Rack Replacement Parts

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 launched in the UK in 2021 and received a facelift update for the 2024 model year, bringing interior and software changes alongside some mechanical revisions. The steering rack is likely consistent across the pre-facelift 2021–2023 cars, but whether a rack from a pre-facelift car crosses over to a 2024-onwards facelift car is not confirmed — always confirm this with the breaker against your exact registration before buying.

The 2022 car is pre-facelift and the 2024 car is the facelifted version, which sits on either side of the key 2024 model-year boundary. Steering racks can be sensitive to mid-generation changes, so fitting a pre-facelift rack to a facelifted car is not something we can confirm as a straight swap — check with the breaker and give them both registration numbers to cross-reference.

Trim level does not affect steering rack fitment on the Ioniq 5 — the rack itself is the same across grades such as Premium, Premium SE, and Ultimate. The only differences between trims are cosmetic items like upholstery and technology features, so you do not need to match trim when sourcing a used rack from a breaker.

The Ioniq 5 is available in both single-motor rear-wheel-drive and dual-motor all-wheel-drive versions, and it is worth confirming with the breaker whether this affects the rack specification for your car. Although the front steering geometry is broadly the same, the additional front axle hardware on AWD models could mean a different rack variant, so match the drivetrain of the donor car to your own where possible.

Battery capacity itself is not a direct factor in steering rack fitment, as the rack is part of the front subframe assembly rather than a component that changes with powertrain output. That said, the AWD dual-motor variant is only available with the larger 77 kWh pack, so if your car is AWD, focus on matching the drivetrain as noted above rather than the battery size specifically.

Findapart lets you request quotes from UK vehicle dismantlers (breakers) who specialise in used parts, and you can typically get multiple quotes quickly. When contacting a breaker, give them your full registration number so they can verify the exact specification — including model year, drivetrain (RWD or AWD), and any post-facelift differences — to make sure the rack they have matches your car.
