Market analysis
How much does a used Subaru WRX steering column cost?
Asking prices for a used Subaru WRX steering column are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 10 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 7% premium over grade-B stock, with grade-A medians at $210.
Model year matters too: 2017 units carry the lowest median at $193, while 2023 tops the table at $264. Parts from 2016–2021 are interchangeable, so if the 2017 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Subaru WRX sits 41% above the Subaru Impreza ($145), 63% above the Subaru Outback ($125), and 41% 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.
