Market analysis

Why does the Dodge Challenger strut cost more?

A used Dodge Challenger strut carries a median asking price of $165, which is 65% higher than the Lexus IS350 at $100. Supply also plays a role: Dodge Challenger has 4,638 priced listings versus 1,266 for Lexus IS350, 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 11 model years for the Lexus IS350 (2015–2025) but only 9 for the Dodge Challenger (2015–2023), so the Lexus IS350 data reflects a broader range of generations.

Only 56% of Lexus IS350 strut listings include a posted price (1,266 of 2,248 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.

The Lexus IS350 strut is interchangeable across 20 model years versus just 13 for the Dodge Challenger — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.

At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Lexus IS350 is 42% cheaper ($106 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.
