Market analysis
Why does the Honda CRV strut cost more?
A used Honda CRV strut carries a median asking price of $126, which is 40% higher than the Chevy Equinox at $75. Supply also plays a role: Chevy Equinox has 2,878 priced listings versus 1,543 for Honda CRV, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Chevy Equinox average ($101) runs 35% above its median ($75), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
The Chevy Equinox strut is interchangeable across 17 model years versus just 12 for the Honda CRV — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Chevy Equinox is 45% cheaper ($80 vs $145) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.
Buyer's checklist
What to check before buying a used strut
- Check the shaft for pitting or rust — a pitted shaft will chew through the new seal and start leaking immediately.
- Look for oil weeping around the seal area. A light film is normal on older units; dripping means it's spent.
- Confirm whether the strut mount and spring are included, or if you'll need to transfer yours over.
- Match the part to your vehicle's suspension type (standard, sport, electronic/adaptive) — they're not interchangeable.
