The most affordable variant we track, (power rack and pinion), 2.5L, A25AFKS engine, LE, lists at a $200 median, while (power rack and pinion), 2.5L, A25AFKS engine, SE, 17" wheels commands $423, a 112% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $117, while 2024 tops the table at $400. Parts from 2015–2016 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 2 compatible years.

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.
