Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 50% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $150.

Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (power rack and pinion), opt GNG (additional watt linkage), lists at a $125 median, while (power rack and pinion), opt GNF (compound crank), opt NJ1 (electric) commands $175, a 40% 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 $135, while 2015 tops the table at $166. Parts from 2011–2016 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.

Buying a used steering rack: what to check

  1. Confirm hydraulic vs electric power steering. They never interchange.
  2. Check the input shaft and tie-rod ends for play.
  3. Ask whether the rack was leak-tested; seals are the usual failure.
  4. Match the mounting bushing style. Subframe designs change mid-generation.
