Market analysis
Why does the Dodge Challenger strut cost more?
A used Dodge Challenger strut carries a median asking price of $165, which is 10% higher than the Ram 3500 at $150. Supply also plays a role: Dodge Challenger has 4,638 priced listings versus 453 for Ram 3500, 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 Ram 3500 (2015–2025) but only 9 for the Dodge Challenger (2015–2023), so the Ram 3500 data reflects a broader range of generations.
At Grade B (good) condition, the Ram 3500 is 21% cheaper ($150 vs $190) — 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.
