How much does a used Tesla Model S steering column cost?

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.
