Market analysis
Why does the Ram 1500 steering rack cost more?
A used Ram 1500 steering rack carries a median asking price of $1,200, which is 823% higher than the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross at $130. Supply also plays a role: Ram 1500 has 4,584 priced listings versus 263 for Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross average ($178) runs 37% above its median ($130), 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 Ram 1500 (2015–2025) but only 8 for the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2018–2025), so the Ram 1500 data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Ram 1500 steering rack is interchangeable across 14 model years versus just 8 for the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is 87% cheaper ($163 vs $1,259) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used steering rack
- Check for power steering fluid leaks at the input shaft seal and at both inner tie rod boots.
- Confirm whether it's hydraulic or electric power steering — they're completely different units.
- Look for a bent housing or damaged mounting ears from collision damage.
- Ask whether inner tie rods are included. Replacing them separately adds labor and cost.
