Steering wheels and steering racks in South Africa: prices and how to buy

Updated 4 November 2026

Steering parts in South Africa range from about R 550 for a replacement sports steering wheel to R 3,000 to R 8,000 for a power steering rack for common Toyota, Nissan and Volkswagen models. A premium Bosch rack is listed at about R 19,200. For prices that match your car, describe the part and the model in a BlaBlaPrice request.

Check the rules before you buy a part

Draft guidelines published by a consumer regulator say you may choose any qualified repairer, even during the warranty period, and you may fit OE or non-OE spare parts while the warranty runs. Ask the seller whether the part is OE or compatible, and keep the invoice for the part and for the fitting.

Season and how parts are priced

Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August. A steering part is not a seasonal purchase, so order it when the car needs it rather than waiting for a better time of year. Prices are quoted per part, so ask whether fitting, alignment or delivery to your city is extra.

Car details that decide the right part

Sellers need the car make, model and year, the drive side (left-hand or right-hand drive), and whether the car has power steering or electric assist. Racks are sold with tie rods or without them, so say which one you need. If you have the part number from the old part, add it to the request.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the part in your own words in a chat and add a photo if you have one. BlaBlaPrice's AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in South Africa, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply in the chat with their offer, price and delivery, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them. Start with a request, or browse suspension & running gear if the rack work is part of a wider job.
