Market analysis

Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 82% of Acura RDX listings compared to 66% for the Mitsubishi Mirage, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Acura RDX side.
Our guide covers 11 model years for the Acura RDX (2015–2025) but only 9 for the Mitsubishi Mirage (2015–2024), so the Acura RDX data reflects a broader range of generations.
Only 30% of Mitsubishi Mirage power steering pump listings include a posted price (112 of 372 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 9 for the Mitsubishi Mirage — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Mitsubishi Mirage is 74% cheaper ($65 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.
