The 2006 Chevy HHR uses an electric motor for power steering instead of a traditional power steering pump. The motor is located under the driver's feet on the steering column, and you can access it by removing the steering wheel molding. A replacement electric motor can cost between $80 and $120, depending on whether you choose an OEM or aftermarket part. Installing the motor is relatively easy, but you will need to connect it to the wiring harness before fitting it. If you opt to have the motor replaced by a dealership or mechanic, expect to pay between $300 and $500, depending on the required parts and labor.
