Where the Kia K5 steering rack is listed
We found priced Kia K5 steering rack listings at 271 salvage yards across 37 states. Illinois supplies the most, with 94 listings (12% of the total) from 20 yards. Location matters: yards in Pennsylvania ask a median $95, while Texas yards ask $270, 184% more for the same part. 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 Kia K5 steering rack cost?
Asking prices for a used Kia K5 steering rack 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 18% premium over grade-B stock, with grade-A medians at $287.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, column mounted power steering motor, lists at a $405 median, while rack mounted power steering motor commands $523, a 29% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2021 units carry the lowest median at $169, while 2020 tops the table at $945. Parts from 2020–2023 are interchangeable, so if the 2021 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 4 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Kia K5 sits 44% below the Ford F150 ($459), 4% below the Honda Civic ($268), and 78% below the Ram 1500 ($1,200) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used steering rack: what to check
- Confirm hydraulic vs electric power steering. They never interchange.
- Check the input shaft and tie-rod ends for play.
- Ask whether the rack was leak-tested; seals are the usual failure.
- Match the mounting bushing style. Subframe designs change mid-generation.
