Market analysis
Why does the Dodge Challenger strut cost more?
A used Dodge Challenger strut carries a median asking price of $165, which is 92% higher than the Acura ILX at $86. Supply also plays a role: Dodge Challenger has 4,638 priced listings versus 481 for Acura ILX, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Dodge Challenger average ($215) runs 30% above its median ($165), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Only 59% of Acura ILX strut listings include a posted price (481 of 819 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Acura ILX is 47% cheaper ($96 vs $182) — 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.
