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.
