Market analysis
How much does a used Mercedes S Class steering column cost?
Asking prices for a used Mercedes S Class steering column are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 9 times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.

Model year matters too: 2019 units carry the lowest median at $222, while 2023 tops the table at $614. Parts from 2013–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2019 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 8 compatible years.

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.
