Where the Ram 1500 strut is listed
We found priced Ram 1500 strut listings at 539 salvage yards across 45 states. Texas supplies the most, with 751 listings (11% of the total) from 56 yards. Location matters: yards in California ask a median $121, while Michigan yards ask $230, 90% more for the same part. 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 Ram 1500 strut cost?
Asking prices for a used Ram 1500 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 38% premium over grade-C stock, with grade-A medians at $200.
Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, (front), 4x4, coil spring, heavy duty suspension, lifted suspension, lists at a $139 median, while (front), 4x4, air suspension, RH commands $500, a 260% 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 $135, while 2023 tops the table at $227. Parts from 2013–2023 are interchangeable, so if the 2018 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 11 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Ram 1500 sits 43% below the Mercedes S Class ($350), 111% above the Jeep Compass ($95), and 60% above 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.
