Prices for a 2011 Dodge Charger power steering pump typically range from about $60 to $500 for the pump itself, depending on whether it's aftermarket or OEM and whether it's new, remanufactured, or used. Labor to install can run roughly $150 to $500.
What matters in the price is the pump type (OEM Mopar vs aftermarket), its condition (new, remanufactured, or used), the engine option (3.6L Pentastar or 5.7L Hemi), and the seller. This article explains current pricing and where to shop.
Pricing by source
The following categories cover the most common ways buyers acquire a power steering pump for a 2011 Charger. Each option has different price ranges and warranties.
- OEM/Mopar new power steering pump: about $250–$450, with the pulley and reservoir typically included; higher-end prices can approach $500 depending on seller and exact part number.
- Aftermarket new power steering pump: about $120–$260; these are commonly offered by many parts brands and often include a one-year warranty.
- Remanufactured power steering pump: about $70–$150; usually a cost-saver, but confirm warranty and core return terms.
- Used or salvage power steering pump: about $60–$150; a budget option with higher risk of wear or pre-existing issues.
Note that prices can vary by retailer, warranty, and whether the part includes accompanying hardware (like pulleys) or requires a separate purchase.
Factors that affect price
Several factors influence the final price beyond the base type of pump. The Charger's engine choice (3.6L Pentastar vs. 5.7L Hemi) can affect the part number and supply. Availability, seller reputation, warranties, and core charge terms also matter. Some listings include free shipping or promotions that reduce the effective cost.
Engine compatibility and part numbers
The 2011 Charger was offered with multiple engines, which means not every PS pump fits every model year or engine. Buyers should verify compatibility using the vehicle VIN, the pump's pulley size, and the reservoir orientation. If in doubt, contact the seller or a mechanic before purchase.
Installation costs
Replacing a power steering pump is typically a moderate repair. Labor costs depend on location, the shop's hourly rate, and whether additional components (like seals, hoses, or the rack-and-pinion) require service during the same job. Expect roughly:
- Labor: $150–$500 for most shops, depending on hourly rates and job complexity.
- Additional parts or services: $20–$150 if new hoses, seals, or a new reservoir are needed.
Always get a written estimate that separates parts and labor, and ask about core charges for remanufactured units.
Where to shop
Several national retailers and auto parts distributors carry power steering pumps for the 2011 Charger. Prices can vary by location and stock, so it pays to compare. Common sources include:

Online marketplaces may offer broader selection and price comparisons, but ensure compatibility with your vehicle and check for return policies and warranties.
What to know before buying
Before purchasing, confirm that the pump includes necessary hardware (pulley, reservoir) and that it matches your engine variant. Check the seller’s warranty, core-charge policy for remanufactured units, and return options. If the power steering system has existing leaks or contaminated fluid, plan for related repairs to avoid repeating failures after a replacement.
