Market analysis

How much does a used Chevy Cruze strut cost?

Asking prices for a used Chevy Cruze strut are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 6 times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.

Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (front), LH, lists at a $70 median, while (front), RH commands $80, a 14% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.

Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $70, while 2017 tops the table at $80. Parts from 2015–2019 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 5 compatible years.

Against comparable vehicles, the Chevy Cruze sits 80% below the Mercedes S Class ($350), 26% below the Jeep Compass ($95), and 42% 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

  1. Buy struts in pairs. Mixing wear levels ruins handling and tire wear.
  2. Check for oil streaks on the strut body, the sign of a blown seal.
  3. Confirm sport vs base suspension. Spring rates and heights differ.
  4. Factor in new mounts and bearings; reusing old ones wastes the labor.
