Market analysis

How much does a used GMC Sierra 1500 steering column cost?

Asking prices for a used GMC Sierra 1500 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 101% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $201.

Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, telescopic, power tilt (opt N38), lists at a $250 median, while telescopic, manual tilt (opt N37) commands $287, a 15% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.

Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $125, while 2017 tops the table at $287. Parts from 2014–2018 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 5 compatible years.

Against comparable vehicles, the GMC Sierra 1500 sits 39% above the Subaru Impreza ($145), 61% above the Subaru Outback ($125), and 39% above 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

  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.
