The Dodge Challenger average ($213) runs 38% above its median ($154), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
At Grade B (good) condition, the Dodge Challenger is 24% cheaper ($186 vs $245) — the gap narrows 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.
