Market analysis

Why does the Acura Integra strut cost more?

A used Acura Integra strut carries a median asking price of $137, which is 12% higher than the Ford Explorer at $120. Supply also plays a role: Ford Explorer has 5,089 priced listings versus 537 for Acura Integra, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.

Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 85% of Acura Integra listings compared to 70% for the Ford Explorer, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Acura Integra side.

The Ford Explorer average ($144) runs 20% above its median ($120), 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 Ford Explorer (2015–2025) but only 3 for the Acura Integra (2023–2025), so the Ford Explorer data reflects a broader range of generations.

The Ford Explorer strut is interchangeable across 15 model years versus just 3 for the Acura Integra — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.

At Grade B (good) condition, the Acura Integra is 20% cheaper ($100 vs $125) — 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.
