A used Dodge Challenger strut carries a median asking price of $165, which is 10% higher than the Kia K5 at $150. Supply also plays a role: Dodge Challenger has 4,638 priced listings versus 476 for Kia K5, 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.
Our guide covers 9 model years for the Dodge Challenger (2015–2023) but only 4 for the Kia K5 (2021–2025), so the Dodge Challenger data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Dodge Challenger strut is interchangeable across 13 model years versus just 6 for the Kia K5 — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade B (good) condition, the Kia K5 is 31% cheaper ($132 vs $190) — the gap widens compared to the overall median difference.
The Dodge Challenger has 16 known trim variants compared to 3 for the Kia K5, which means buyers need to be more careful about matching the exact engine or drivetrain configuration on the Dodge Challenger.
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.
