What is the average suspension replacement cost?

My car has been riding bumpy for a few months now. I’ve been putting off the repairs because I didn’t have the cash but I just got my tax return! What is the average suspension replacement cost?

The average suspension replacement cost is between $200 and $5,000. Your price will depend on the type of problem and the make and model of your vehicle.
Depending on what kind of problems your car is having, you’ll probably pay somewhere in the middle, like $2,000. Simple fixes (like new shock absorbers) are cheaper. Just one shock absorber costs around $200 but most vehicles need all four replaced simultaneously. Bigger parts are more expensive. Struts are far more costly to replace and repair, for example.
Before heading to the nearest mechanic to book a suspension replacement service, shop around and get quotes from several different garages. You may be surprised how much prices vary across town!
Your suspension system is a critical part of keeping your car operating in top form. It’s about comfort as well as safety. If you see your car as an investment, make sure you get this repair taken care of ASAP.
