Market analysis
Why does the Acura RDX power steering pump cost more?
A used Acura RDX power steering pump carries a median asking price of $270, which is 350% higher than the Mitsubishi Lancer at $60. Supply also plays a role: Acura RDX has 1,309 priced listings versus 129 for Mitsubishi Lancer, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Mitsubishi Lancer average ($83) runs 38% above its median ($60), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Our guide covers 11 model years for the Acura RDX (2015–2025) but only 3 for the Mitsubishi Lancer (2015–2017), so the Acura RDX data reflects a broader range of generations.
Only 61% of Mitsubishi Lancer power steering pump listings include a posted price (129 of 211 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.
The Acura RDX power steering pump is interchangeable across 14 model years versus just 10 for the Mitsubishi Lancer — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Mitsubishi Lancer is 74% cheaper ($66 vs $254) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used power steering pump
- Distinguish between traditional hydraulic belt-driven pumps and electro-hydraulic power steering (EHPS) units with integrated control modules.
- Spin the pulley shaft by hand to check for smooth bearing rotation, lateral shaft play, and inspect the front seal for fluid leaks.
- Verify high-pressure hose fitting connection style (o-ring flare vs banjo bolt) and return line nipple orientation.
- Check whether the pulley is press-fit or bolt-on, and confirm whether the unit includes the reservoir and fluid pressure sensor.
