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 7 for the Volvo XC40 (2019–2025), so the Toyota 4Runner data reflects a broader range of generations.

The Toyota 4Runner strut is interchangeable across 16 model years versus just 7 for the Volvo XC40 — 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 23% cheaper ($140 vs $182) — 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.
