A used Toyota Camry steering rack carries a median asking price of $280, which is 75% higher than the Kia Seltos at $160. Supply also plays a role: Toyota Camry has 3,551 priced listings versus 91 for Kia Seltos, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.

Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 73% of Kia Seltos listings compared to 54% for the Toyota Camry, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Kia Seltos side.

Our guide covers 10 model years for the Toyota Camry (2015–2025) but only 2 for the Kia Seltos (2022–2023), so the Toyota Camry data reflects a broader range of generations.

The Toyota Camry steering rack is interchangeable across 14 model years versus just 5 for the Kia Seltos — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.

At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Kia Seltos is 46% cheaper ($165 vs $305) — 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.
