Where the Nissan Altima strut is listed
We found priced Nissan Altima strut listings at 476 salvage yards across 48 states. North Carolina supplies the most, with 261 listings (8% of the total) from 22 yards.

Market analysis
How much does a used Nissan Altima strut cost?
Asking prices for a used Nissan Altima 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 57% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $102.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (front), FWD, LH, lists at a $100 median, while (front), AWD, RH commands $143, a 43% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2017 units carry the lowest median at $65, while 2023 tops the table at $125. Parts from 2016–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2017 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 2 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Nissan Altima sits 71% below the Mercedes S Class ($350), 5% above the Jeep Compass ($95), and 20% 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.
