Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Ram 1500 steering column cost?
Asking prices for a used Ram 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 122% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $200.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, non-heated steering wheel, lists at a $246 median, while heated steering wheel commands $287, a 17% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2024 units carry the lowest median at $130, while 2025 tops the table at $253. Parts from 2015–2024 are interchangeable, so if the 2024 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 10 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Ram 1500 sits 34% above the Subaru Impreza ($145), 56% above the Subaru Outback ($125), and 34% 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
- 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.
