Market analysis
Why does the Toyota 4Runner strut cost more?
A used Toyota 4Runner strut carries a median asking price of $140, which is 32% higher than the Hyundai Kona at $106. Supply also plays a role: Toyota 4Runner has 4,323 priced listings versus 304 for Hyundai Kona, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
The Toyota 4Runner average ($208) runs 49% above its median ($140), indicating a tail of high-priced listings — likely low-mileage or remanufactured units pulling the average up.
Our guide covers 9 model years for the Toyota 4Runner (2017–2025) but only 2 for the Hyundai Kona (2018–2020), so the Toyota 4Runner data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Toyota 4Runner strut is interchangeable across 16 model years versus just 6 for the Hyundai Kona — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Hyundai Kona is 24% cheaper ($106 vs $140) — the gap narrows 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.
