Market analysis

How much does a used Chevy Traverse steering column cost?

Asking prices for a used Chevy Traverse steering column are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 8 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 6% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $145.

Model year matters too: 2018 units carry the lowest median at $106, while 2023 tops the table at $203. Parts from 2018–2022 are interchangeable, so if the 2018 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 5 compatible years.

Buying a used steering column: what to check

  1. Inspect intermediate shaft u-joint splines: Check lower universal joints for play, binding, or stripped pinch-bolt splines where the column meets the rack.
  2. Verify electric power steering motor inclusion: Ask if columns with integrated electric assist include the assist motor, reduction gear, and module assembly.
  3. Check tilt and telescoping locking lever: Test manual tilt and telescoping levers to ensure column lock shoes clamp tightly without slipping under load.
  4. Confirm ignition switch and clockspring wiring: Match multi-function switch stalk plugs, clockspring connectors, and key tumbler housings to your vehicle.
  5. Lock steering wheel straight before installation: Lock steering wheel alignment straight before installation to prevent over-rotating and snapping internal clockspring wires.
