Market analysis
Why does the Mercedes S Class strut cost more?
A used Mercedes S Class strut carries a median asking price of $350, which is 204% higher than the Mitsubishi Outlander at $115. Supply also plays a role: Mercedes S Class has 9,693 priced listings versus 1,395 for Mitsubishi Outlander, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
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.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Mitsubishi Outlander is 69% cheaper ($115 vs $372) — 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.
