The Jeep Compass strut is interchangeable across 19 model years versus just 15 for the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport is 21% cheaper ($75 vs $95) — the gap narrows compared to the overall median difference.
The Jeep Compass has 8 known trim variants compared to 4 for the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport, which means buyers need to be more careful about matching the exact engine or drivetrain configuration on the Jeep Compass.
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.
