Market analysis

Why does the Dodge Challenger strut cost more?

A used Dodge Challenger strut carries a median asking price of $154, which is 34% higher than the Kia Sportage at $115. Supply also plays a role: Dodge Challenger has 4,669 priced listings versus 1,381 for Kia Sportage, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.

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.

Our guide covers 11 model years for the Kia Sportage (2015–2025) but only 9 for the Dodge Challenger (2015–2023), so the Kia Sportage data reflects a broader range of generations.

At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Kia Sportage is 28% cheaper ($123 vs $172) — 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.
