Where the Chevy Malibu steering column is listed
We found priced Chevy Malibu steering column listings at 394 salvage yards across 43 states. California supplies the most, with 435 listings (22% of the total) from 43 yards.

Market analysis
How much does a used Chevy Malibu steering column cost?
Asking prices for a used Chevy Malibu steering column are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 73% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $130.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, automatic high beam (IntelliBeam, opt TQ5), lists at a $150 median, while w/o automatic high beam commands $155, a 3% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $100, while 2015 tops the table at $228. Parts from 2013–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 5 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Chevy Malibu sits 14% below the Subaru Impreza ($145), level with the Subaru Outback ($125), and 14% below the Honda Civic ($145) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used steering column: what to check
- Inspect intermediate shaft u-joint splines: Check lower universal joints for play, binding, or stripped pinch-bolt splines where the column meets the rack.
- Verify electric power steering motor inclusion: Ask if columns with integrated electric assist include the assist motor, reduction gear, and module assembly.
- Check tilt and telescoping locking lever: Test manual tilt and telescoping levers to ensure column lock shoes clamp tightly without slipping under load.
- Confirm ignition switch and clockspring wiring: Match multi-function switch stalk plugs, clockspring connectors, and key tumbler housings to your vehicle.
- Lock steering wheel straight before installation: Lock steering wheel alignment straight before installation to prevent over-rotating and snapping internal clockspring wires.
