Front strut replacement.
$300 labor
$240 parts
$540 total
I don't know what brand shocks they would use, or if this includes strut bearings and other parts that need repl. along the way (probably not). I'm kind of on the fence with this one. We're keeping the car maybe two more years. The shocks are pretty spent - not much resistance on the initial down. There is not much bouncing after a bump, but definatly some. Handling is sloppy, w/lots of body roll (part of that is crappy tires though). Sorry to keep bugging you folks with these lame shock questions. I can't DIY it - no time, tools, or know how. Everything else about the car is fine though. I'd consider doing the rears myself since they seem to be a pretty easy job from past posts.
Thanks everyone,
Brian
