Market analysis
Why does the Chevy Camaro strut cost more?
A used Chevy Camaro strut carries a median asking price of $130, which is 8% higher than the Ford Explorer at $120. Supply also plays a role: Ford Explorer has 5,089 priced listings versus 1,860 for Chevy Camaro, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 91% of Chevy Camaro listings compared to 70% for the Ford Explorer, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Chevy Camaro 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 7 for the Chevy Camaro (2015–2024), so the Ford Explorer data reflects a broader range of generations.
At Grade B (good) condition, the Chevy Camaro is 24% cheaper ($95 vs $125) — the gap narrows compared to the overall median difference.
The Ford Explorer has 12 known trim variants compared to 6 for the Chevy Camaro, which means buyers need to be more careful about matching the exact engine or drivetrain configuration on the Ford Explorer.
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.
