The mechanic that just finished the bearing job on my Max told me that I need my strut mount replaced and he quoted $270. Does this sound like a fair price. He said the extra $70 was for realignment.

 

he should basically charge you the same amount of labor they would charge to change a strut...it basically the same amount of work. I may have a strut mount laying around at the house if you are considering using a used part. PM me if you are interested, and I will let you know for sure if I have one.

 

Take 15 minutes to change the mount, it's an easy job with the right tools.
Be smart, shop around. If your car is lowered you don't even need a spring compressor to take the strut apart to change the mount.
$70 for the alignment sounds about right.

 

how mahy do you need replaced? they are not that cheap if yu buy them new

 

are you lowered? only need alignment if you are lowered, stock springs take care of its self.
