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 1312% higher than the Mitsubishi Mirage at $85. Supply also plays a role: Ram 1500 has 4,584 priced listings versus 265 for Mitsubishi Mirage, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
Our guide covers 11 model years for the Ram 1500 (2015–2025) but only 9 for the Mitsubishi Mirage (2015–2024), so the Ram 1500 data reflects a broader range of generations.
Only 59% of Mitsubishi Mirage steering rack listings include a posted price (265 of 450 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.
The Ram 1500 steering rack is interchangeable across 14 model years versus just 10 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 93% cheaper ($85 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.
