Market analysis
How much does a used Mercedes S Class strut cost?
Asking prices for a used Mercedes S Class 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 17% premium over grade-B stock, with grade-A medians at $372.
Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $304, while 2022 tops the table at $870. Parts from 2013–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 8 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Mercedes S Class sits 268% above the Jeep Compass ($95), 192% above the Ford Explorer ($120), and 159% above the Toyota 4Runner ($135) 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.
