Strut and mounts

Good day. I was recently advised by my dealer that my 2020 XT5 required a new strut assembly. They're done in pairs which I get. They quoted me a price of $2200.00 CDN for both sides. I called around and got several quotes for after market strut assemblies for about $1100.00. Huge difference. Does it matter whether they're variable damping or not? And I'm assuming that they will simply reuse the coil spring. Thanks.

Does your XT5 come with RTD suspension?
A regular complete strut with all oem parts including new coil spring cost me about 300cad per wheel. This, of course, does not include labour cost.
But the material cost of a RTD one will easily double.

The following listing from Rock Auto will provide proper selection of your suspension components using the RPO codes as suggested by @Long to restore the ride and handling for your 2020 with or without RTD. These are, of course, purchase price for the parts to which you need to add the cost of installation.

The Info button on the Rock Auto page will show a picture of the part.

Shipping charges added by Rock Auto are the best I have seen.
