struts

hi bob, i just had the rear struts replaced and it cost me a total of $200, BUT it was done by a private mechanic, i called service stations and they wanted $400 $700. ask around try to bring it to someone that does it on the side. it takes a good 3-4 hours to fix. good luck

Napa sells Monroe "Quick Strut" modular assemblies... comes with the coil spring already installed. With no messing around removing and re-installing the springs (and no special tools to do it) it should be a fairly easy job... plus you get new springs! >;-} It looks like yours are $194 for the front and you have regular shocks in the rear:

I just helped a friend of mine replace the struts on his wife's car, and the whole remove & re-install the springs on the struts circus took most of the time; bolting the struts in was a snap. I'm going for the Quick Strut next time! David
