How much is it to replace a car’s suspension?
My car’s suspension has been a bit noisy and feels clunky, and I think it might need to be replaced. How much is it to replace a car’s suspension?
Jack Walsh · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
Replacing a suspension system typically costs between $1,000 and $5,000.
The price of this service will vary depending on:
- The type of vehicle
- The price of replacement parts
- The complexity of the replacement
How it works: The mechanic will replace three separate parts in a suspension replacement: the springs,
shock absorbers/struts
, and linkages such as ball joints
.Signs of trouble: If you think your car is experiencing problems with the suspension, check for these telltale signs:
- Rougher, stiffer ride
- Braking, accelerating, and turning is jerky
- Drifting a bit while turning
- Lurching forward and downward when you apply the brakes
- Uneven tire treads because the suspension is not correctly holding up the vehicle
- Greasy or oily shocks
Keep in mind: Your price will be a lot higher if you drive a car with a complex suspension system and if labor costs are high in your area, and the repair can take up to four hours, so plan accordingly.
