No two steering racks are quite the same across different vehicles, so getting the specifics right matters when you buy used, second hand or a replacement. Answer a few quick questions below and breakers will only quote if they have the exact matching part in stock:
The CX-5 has run across two clear generations: the first generation (Mk1) ran from 2012 to 2017, and the second generation (Mk2) launched in 2017 and continues from there. The steering rack design changed significantly between these two generations, so a Mk1 rack will not cross directly to a Mk2. Always source a rack that matches your own generation, and confirm the exact part against your registration with the breaker.
Both the 2013 and 2015 CX-5 sit within the Mk1 generation (2012–2017), so they share the same basic platform and steering rack design. That said, there were running production changes across the Mk1 build, so confirm the part number against your specific registration with the breaker before buying. Do not assume all Mk1 racks are identical without that check.
This question spans the generation boundary — the 2016 car is Mk1 (2012–2017) and the 2018 car is Mk2 (2017 onwards), and the two generations use different steering systems. A direct swap across that boundary is very unlikely to work, and you should treat these as separate part searches. Confirm fitment for your 2018 car against your registration with the breaker.
On the CX-5, the steering rack is primarily tied to the generation rather than the engine size, but there can be calibration or assist differences between petrol and diesel variants depending on the build date and market specification. It is worth telling the breaker both your engine size and fuel type alongside your registration to ensure they match the correct unit. Never rely on generation alone without confirming those details.
Trim level — whether your car is SE, SE-L, Sport, or Sport Nav — does not affect steering rack fitment on the CX-5; the rack is not a trim-specific component. You may find cosmetic differences in how other parts around the steering system look when you receive a rack from a different trim car, but the rack itself should be the same unit within the same generation and drivetrain combination. Confirm generation, engine, and fuel type with the breaker rather than worrying about trim.
Yes, AWD and front-wheel-drive CX-5 models can differ in their front subframe and drivetrain layout, which may affect the steering rack specification — the same generation AWD and FWD cars do not necessarily share an identical rack. Make sure you tell the breaker whether your car is AWD or FWD as well as the generation and engine details. Always confirm against your registration to be certain you are getting the right unit.
