Market analysis
Why does the Mercedes GLE Class strut cost more?
A used Mercedes GLE Class strut carries a median asking price of $621, which is 317% higher than the Honda Pilot at $149. Supply also plays a role: Mercedes GLE Class has 4,341 priced listings versus 2,598 for Honda Pilot, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
Our guide covers 11 model years for the Honda Pilot (2015–2025) but only 9 for the Mercedes GLE Class (2016–2025), so the Honda Pilot data reflects a broader range of generations.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Honda Pilot is 76% cheaper ($151 vs $621) — 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.
