Market analysis
How much does a used Lincoln MKZ steering column cost?
Asking prices for a used Lincoln MKZ 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.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (dash shift), power tilt and telescopic, w/o heated steering wheel; rain sensor, lists at a $131 median, while (dash shift), power tilt and telescopic, heated steering wheel, w/o lane keep assist commands $185, a 41% 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 $110, while 2020 tops the table at $151. Parts from 2013–2016 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 4 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Lincoln MKZ sits 3% below the Subaru Impreza ($145), 13% above the Subaru Outback ($125), and 3% 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.
