Shocks and struts.

For $220 from the mom and pop joint, I'm not going to curse and throw wrenches for four hours in my driveway. Forget the fact their quote sounds insanely cheap to me. Pony up the $220 and forget about it.

$20 for the manual, $40 for the spring compressor tool, and how much for the parts? Fuck it, take it to the ma and pa place.

That's probably because they plan on installing a Monroe garbage $30 strut.

Also I doubt they included alignment in that quote.

Dude, it's an '02 Taurus... it came stock with Monroe Garbage POS911 struts... And either way he'd have to get an alignment. I'd tell 'em "$250, including alignment, and you'll like it."

Who knows who made its OEM struts.........All I'm saying is that Monroe's retail struts are garbage....they're way too soft

Crap, your right. Strut in the front, shock in the back......

Thats what I'm figuring. I don't have much money, but that was a maximun quote too! This company has saved me a ton of money in the past 2 years. They were the ones that fixed my car for $85 when a Goodyear told me that I had blown my head gasket and would require a $1900 fix.
