Sorry to hear about your suspension issues! It usually costs between $150 to $450 per strut, depending on your make and model.
Usually, both struts need to be replaced at the same time. Your cost for replacing a pair of struts will be between $300 and $900.
Strut replacement can take
several hours
. It usually involves:
  • Lifting the vehicle
  • Removing the wheels
  • Moving the brake lines
  • Removing the old struts
This service typically involved a wheel realignment, too. Struts can change your vehicle’s ride height and you shouldn’t hit the road without realigning the wheels to take into account its new height.
If you’re hesitant to spend a ton of money, you may be tempted to delay this service. But blown struts can seriously increase the wear and tear on your vehicle’s suspension, leading to more costly damage. It’s wise to get this repair done as soon as you can afford it (within one to two weeks).
Hope your suspension is back to normal soon!
