Market analysis
Why does the Tesla Model X strut cost more?
A used Tesla Model X strut carries a median asking price of $454, which is 70% higher than the Toyota 4Runner at $135. Supply also plays a role: Toyota 4Runner has 4,778 priced listings versus 346 for Tesla Model X, and more listings generally mean more choices and more competitive pricing.
Grade A (excellent condition) parts make up 85% of Tesla Model X listings compared to 70% for the Toyota 4Runner, so buyers looking for top-condition units will find more options on the Tesla Model X side.
The Toyota 4Runner average ($164) runs 21% above its median ($135), 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 Toyota 4Runner (2015–2025) but only 8 for the Tesla Model X (2016–2023), so the Toyota 4Runner data reflects a broader range of generations.
The Toyota 4Runner strut is interchangeable across 16 model years versus just 8 for the Tesla Model X — that wider compatibility window means more donor vehicles in salvage yards and tends to push prices lower.
At Grade A (excellent) condition, the Toyota 4Runner is 70% cheaper ($140 vs $474) — 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.
