Struts typically cost about $60–$300 per unit, depending on brand and whether you buy aftermarket or OEM parts. Replacing all four, including labor and an alignment, generally falls in the hundreds to low thousands range depending on your CR‑V’s year, location, and the shop you choose.
For the Honda CR‑V, price variation stems from front versus rear positions and the choice of parts. Some CR‑V generations use coil-sprung struts on the front and rear, while others may use different configurations, which can influence labor difficulty and total cost. Always confirm exact parts and labor with your mechanic or parts supplier for your specific year and trim.
Prices by strut type and brand
Front struts
Prices shown reflect typical parts-only costs. Actual prices depend on your year and retailer.
- Aftermarket budget (standard, non-OEM): $60–$120 per strut
- Aftermarket mid-range: $120–$180 per strut
- OEM or premium aftermarket: $150–$290 per strut
- Complete strut assemblies (Quick-Strut, includes coil spring and mounts): $120–$350 per unit
Front strut costs vary widely by brand and whether you choose a basic or a full assembly. Expect higher prices for OEM or premium options and lower prices for budget aftermarket parts.
Rear struts
Prices shown reflect typical parts-only costs. Actual prices depend on your year and retailer.
- Aftermarket budget: $60–$110 per strut
- Aftermarket mid-range: $100–$170 per strut
- OEM or premium aftermarket: $150–$290 per strut
- Complete rear strut assemblies: $140–$320 per unit
Rear struts tend to follow a similar pricing pattern to front struts, with slightly different availability for complete assemblies depending on the generation.
Labor and total cost considerations
Prices below illustrate typical labor and total-installed costs. Actual quotes depend on region, shop, and your CR‑V’s year.
- Labor to replace two front struts (front axle): $200–$650
- Labor to replace two rear struts (rear axle): $200–$650
- Labor to replace all four struts: $400–$1,300
- Wheel alignment after replacement: $75–$150
- Additional parts (boots, mounts, hardware) if replacements require extra components: $20–$100
Many shops offer all-in pricing or bundled packages for four-strut replacements, which can reduce per-strut costs. It’s common to see online quotes that include parts, labor, and alignment in a single estimate.
Summary
For a Honda CR‑V, plan for a broad price range: parts alone can be roughly $60–$290 per strut (or more for premium OEM), and total installed costs depend heavily on how many struts you replace, the brand chosen, and local labor rates. Obtaining multiple quotes that specify parts and labor separately will help you gauge the best overall value for your vehicle year and region.
