Market analysis

Why does the Hyundai Sonata steering column cost more?

A used Hyundai Sonata steering column carries a median asking price of $193, which is 17% higher than the Ford Mustang at $160. Supply also plays a role: Ford Mustang has 2,647 priced listings versus 2,048 for Hyundai Sonata, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.

Our guide covers 10 model years for the Hyundai Sonata (2015–2025) but only 8 for the Ford Mustang (2018–2025), so the Hyundai Sonata data reflects a broader range of generations.

The Hyundai Sonata steering column is interchangeable across 15 model years versus just 8 for the Ford Mustang — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.

Buyer's checklist

What to check before buying a used steering column

  • Confirm steering column adjustment options (manual tilt, power tilt/telescoping) and shifter style (column-shift automatic vs floor-shift).
  • Inspect upper and lower intermediate shaft u-joints and collapsible slip joints for play, binding, or crash-collapse deployment.
  • Verify inclusion and condition of the clock spring, steering angle sensor, multifunction turn signal switches, and ignition lock assembly.
  • Match wiring harness connector plugs, ensuring support for cruise control, heated steering wheel, and airbag wiring harness pinouts.
