Our take on the Rear Driver and Passenger Side Strut for 2008 Dodge Caliber SXT

This is a pair of rear loaded struts for the 2008 Dodge Caliber, sold as a complete assembly with the coil spring and upper stud plate already mounted. They are twin-tube, non-adjustable OE-replacement units, so they restore stock ride height and damping rather than firming it up. The pair runs $79.99 at CarParts.com as of November 4, 2026, the only new price listed. That is well below what a dealer charges for two loaded assemblies, so it is a budget-friendly repair for a worn rear end.

Pros
  • Loaded assembly: spring, mount and strut come pre-assembled
  • No spring compressor needed for install
  • Pair price of $79.99 is low for two complete units
  • OE-replacement twin-tube damping keeps the stock ride
  • Stud-plate top and loop bottom mounts match the factory fit
Cons
  • Non-adjustable, so no damping tuning
  • OE-level performance only, not an upgrade for sporty driving
  • Fits 2008 Caliber only; not other years or models
  • Only one store lists it new, so stock and price can shift
  • Strut life depends on roads and load; expect a few years, not a decade

Questions and answers

Is $79.99 a good price for this pair?
Yes. It is the only new price listed, at CarParts.com as of November 4, 2026, and it covers two complete loaded struts. Comparable pairs from national chains usually cost more.
Will these fit my 2008 Caliber SXT?
The listing is for the 2008 Caliber, and the SXT uses the same rear strut as the SE. Check your trim and build date against the part number before ordering, since AWD and SRT4 models differ.
Do I need a spring compressor to install them?
No. The coil spring and upper mount come pre-assembled, so you unbolt the old unit and bolt in the new one. You still need to support the rear suspension and torque the mounts to spec.
Should I replace both sides at once?
Yes. This is sold as a pair, and replacing one side alone leaves mismatched damping and uneven ride height. Do both rears together.
Are these stiffer than the factory struts?
No. They are non-adjustable OE-replacement twin-tubes, so they aim for the stock ride. If you want a firmer feel, look at performance struts instead.
What comes in the box?
Two loaded rear struts, one per side, each with its coil spring and upper stud-plate mount already installed. Reuse the factory lower bolts and nuts if they are in good shape.
Where is the Rear Driver and Passenger Side Strut for 2008 Dodge Caliber SXT cheapest?
At CarParts.com, for $79.99, as of our latest check.
