The Mercedes S Class average ($410) runs 17% above its median ($350), 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 Mitsubishi Outlander (2015–2025) but only 9 for the Mercedes S Class (2015–2024), so the Mitsubishi Outlander data reflects a broader range of generations.

Only 69% of Mitsubishi Outlander strut listings include a posted price (1,395 of 2,012 observed) — the rest are "call for price," which usually signals negotiable or higher-than-average pricing.

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.
