Replace shocks and struts |
| 256000 mi US $190 |
replaced both rear wheel bearings and shocks (wear and tear items). Not hard, just took little longer because rear wheel bearing hub assemblies were rusted in place. |
| 38000 mi US $160 |
Rear shocks were replaced and drivers side rear wheel bearing unit was replaced. Apparently the wheel bearings are known to go out prematurely. Repair was very easy and total cost of parts was $ 160. Had to replace tire due to uneven wear from this. |
