Market analysis
Why does the Honda Civic power steering pump cost more?
A used Honda Civic power steering pump carries a median asking price of $161, which is 115% higher than the Acura ILX at $75. Supply also plays a role: Honda Civic has 2,351 priced listings versus 208 for Acura ILX, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Acura ILX average ($98) runs 31% above its median ($75), 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 Honda Civic (2015–2025) but only 8 for the Acura ILX (2015–2022), so the Honda Civic data reflects a broader range of generations.
Only 49% of Honda Civic power steering pump listings include a posted price (2,351 of 4,796 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.
The Honda Civic power steering pump is interchangeable across 14 model years versus just 9 for the Acura ILX — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Acura ILX is 50% cheaper ($85 vs $171) — 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.
