Prices typically range from about $60–$120 for a used unit to $260–$320 for a new OEM or new aftermarket pump, with remanufactured and other aftermarket options in between.
The 2011 Honda Accord uses a hydraulic power-steering system driven by the serpentine belt, and the exact price you pay depends on the engine type (2.4L four-cylinder or 3.5L V6), the seller, and whether the pulley, reservoir, hoses, and mounting hardware are included. This article surveys typical price ranges and what affects them, so you can budget effectively.
Pricing options
Prices vary by supplier and condition; below are typical costs you can expect from common sources in North America.
- New OEM power steering pump (Honda dealership or authorized OEM supplier): typically 260–320 USD.
- New aftermarket power steering pump (non-OEM, compatible with the 2011 Accord): typically 150–260 USD.
- Remanufactured/rebuilt aftermarket pump: typically 100–200 USD.
- Used/refurbished pump from salvage yards or online marketplaces: typically 60–120 USD.
Note: Prices can include or exclude hardware like pulleys, pressure hoses, and reservoir. Confirm fitment for your exact engine variant and whether you’ll need additional components or service seals.
Installation and total costs
Labor considerations
Labor costs to replace a power steering pump vary widely by region and shop rate. Typical labor might run from about 200–550 USD, with higher rates in major metro areas. The job often takes 2–4 hours, depending on access to the pump and accompanying components.
DIY considerations
If you plan to do it yourself, you mainly pay for the pump and any tools or fluids you need. You’ll also need to consider belt tensioning and potential additional work on hoses or the pulley alignment, which can affect both price and reliability.
To get a precise figure for your vehicle, verify the exact engine code (2.4L or 3.5L V6), the VIN, and the correct part number, and check current prices at multiple retailers, including Honda dealers, AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, O'Reilly, RockAuto, and local salvage yards.
What to watch for when buying
Imported or rebuilt units may carry different warranties. Look for a warranty of at least 1 year for new or remanufactured parts and confirm that the kit includes the necessary hardware and seals. If you’re buying used, ask about vehicle history and ensure the pump spins freely with no signs of leakage.
Summary
For a 2011 Honda Accord, the power steering pump price depends on condition, supplier, and engine variant. Typical ranges span from roughly $60–$120 for used parts to $260–$320 for new OEM or new aftermarket units, with intermediate options available. Always verify compatibility and consider total costs (parts plus labor) when budgeting for replacement. Prices reflect common North American market rates and can vary by region and retailer; check multiple sources for the latest figures.
