Where the Kia K5 strut is listed

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 Kia K5 strut cost?
Asking prices for a used Kia K5 strut are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 10 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 14% premium over grade-B stock, with grade-A medians at $150.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (front), naturally aspirated, AWD, RH, lists at a $125 median, while (front), naturally aspirated, FWD, LH commands $275, a 120% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2021 units carry the lowest median at $100, while 2025 tops the table at $178. Parts from 2021–2025 are interchangeable, so if the 2021 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 5 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Kia K5 sits 57% below the Mercedes S Class ($350), 58% above the Jeep Compass ($95), and 25% above 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.
