Regional supply
Where the Ford Focus strut is listed
We found priced Ford Focus strut listings at 191 salvage yards across 38 states. Arizona supplies the most, with 381 listings (24% of the total) from 15 yards. Location matters: yards in Arizona ask a median $50, while Colorado yards ask $115, 130% more for the same part. Shipping usually costs less than that gap for smaller parts, so it can pay to buy out of state.

Model-year comparison
What does a Ford Focus strut cost by year?
Market analysis
How much does a used Ford Focus strut cost?
Asking prices for a used Ford Focus 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 36% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $75.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (front), gasoline, 1.0L (VIN E, 8th digit, turbo), LH, lists at a $40 median, while (front), gasoline, 2.0L, turbo (VIN 9, 8th digit), RH commands $100, a 150% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $55, while 2017 tops the table at $75. Parts from 2012–2018 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 7 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Ford Focus sits 79% below the Mercedes S Class ($350), 21% below the Jeep Compass ($95), and 40% below the Ford Explorer ($125) 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.
