du-oh! rear struts

du-oh!passenger rear strut went out...my rear dropped about 2 inches= very rough ride. So my question is 'How much to replace both rears parts & labor?'

if you ride around on the blown struts you will make the springs go bad. i spent 500 to get my suspension done on mine. i needed new upper mounts in the front ($120 for both) and all new bumpers and strut covers ($ 70 about) so picutre around $300. i also got a set of kyb - gr2's and ebiach springs and that cost me 500 in adition to that. tip the rear seat needs to come out to do the rear struts

Like Governor said. Struts do not hold a car up. You broke a spring...get a new spring and then worry about struts.

Bluebird 2gen rear shock insert possibly 50% cheaper (here at least). Equal to maximas but needs a thick washer to close it into the assy.
