FAQ
Frequently Asked Question
How much does it cost to replace shocks and struts?
Prices vary by vehicle, parts quality, and labor time. A pair of shocks often ranges from about $300 to $800, while a pair of struts is usually $600 to $1,200 or more. All four corners can total $800 to $2,000 plus alignment, and we confirm your exact cost after inspection.
Do I need an alignment after replacing shocks or struts?
Alignment is required after strut replacement because the strut affects camber and steering angles. After shocks only, alignment is recommended if suspension bolts were loosened or if you see uneven tire wear or pulling. We check alignment on every suspension job and set it to spec when needed.
How long does it take to replace shocks and struts?
Most vehicles take about 1.5 to 3 hours per axle. Many jobs are completed the same day when parts are available. Special models or rusted hardware can add time, and we will let you know before work begins.
What is the difference between shocks and struts?
Both control bounce and keep the tires planted. A shock is a standalone damper, while a strut is a structural suspension unit that also supports the spring and affects alignment. Many cars use struts in front and shocks in the rear, but layouts vary.
What are the signs I need new shocks or struts?
Bouncy ride, nose dive while braking, and body roll in turns are common signs. You may hear clunks over bumps or see oil leaking on the shock or strut body. Uneven tire wear and longer stopping distances can also indicate worn dampers.
How much is the average price to replace shocks and struts?
Across common vehicles, the average customer ticket is often in the $600 to $1,200 range for a pair of struts or a full set of shocks. Luxury or performance models can be higher, especially with electronic or air systems. We provide a written estimate before any work.
Do you replace parts in pairs?
Yes. Replacing shocks or struts in pairs on the same axle keeps handling balanced and braking stable. Mixing old and new parts can cause uneven ride height and poor control.
Can worn shocks or struts damage my tires and brakes?
Yes. Weak damping can cause cupped tires and longer stopping distances because the tire loses contact with the road. Replacing worn units helps protect tires, steering parts, and suspension bushings.
