Where the Cadillac CTS strut is listed
We found priced Cadillac CTS strut listings at 197 salvage yards across 40 states. California supplies the most, with 121 listings (13% of the total) from 18 yards. Location matters: yards in Texas ask a median $65, while Michigan yards ask $125, 92% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Market analysis
How much does a used Cadillac CTS strut cost?
Asking prices for a used Cadillac CTS strut are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median. Condition matters: grade-A units (lowest mileage, best condition) carry roughly a 43% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $114.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (front), Base, AWD, continuous valve damping chassis (opt F55), LH, lists at a $69 median, while (front), V-Series (6.2L, supercharged), RH commands $300, a 335% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2018 units carry the lowest median at $90, while 2016 tops the table at $125. Parts from 2014–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2018 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Cadillac CTS sits 71% below the Mercedes S Class ($350), 5% above the Jeep Compass ($95), and 17% below the Ford Explorer ($120) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.
Buying a used strut: what to check
- Buy struts in pairs. Mixing wear levels ruins handling and tire wear.
- Check for oil streaks on the strut body, the sign of a blown seal.
- Confirm sport vs base suspension. Spring rates and heights differ.
- Factor in new mounts and bearings; reusing old ones wastes the labor.
