Where the Kia Sorento strut is listed
We found priced Kia Sorento strut listings at 261 salvage yards across 36 states. California supplies the most, with 202 listings (15% of the total) from 32 yards.

Market analysis
How much does a used Kia Sorento strut cost?
Asking prices for a used Kia Sorento 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 78% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $116.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (front), 1.6L (hybrid), LH, lists at a $95 median, while (front), 2.5L, FWD, RH commands $419, a 341% 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 $75, while 2024 tops the table at $370. Parts from 2016–2018 are interchangeable, so if the 2018 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 3 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Kia Sorento sits 69% below the Mercedes S Class ($350), 16% above the Jeep Compass ($95), and 12% 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.
