Our guide covers 11 model years for the Honda CRV (2015–2025) but only 9 for the Subaru Outback (2015–2025), so the Honda CRV data reflects a broader range of generations.
Only 45% of Subaru Outback power steering pump listings include a posted price (60 of 132 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.
The Honda CRV power steering pump is interchangeable across 14 model years versus just 9 for the Subaru Outback — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Subaru Outback is 45% cheaper ($150 vs $271) — 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.
