Re: shocking quote

This sounds average to mid pricing...
But I am used to getting parts @ cost from WorldPac also....
Honestly springs/struts are not that difficult on these cars...
you MUST have an impact.... (wrench)
find some spring compressors and rent em...
Mkae sure you have new strut bearings while doing this....
new strut dust boots would be a good idea as well...
Control Arm bushings.....

Yes, I think with some guidance this is a day maybe 2 day job....
book time is something like 6-8 hrs but this is assuming you have all of 
the tools and know exactly what you're doing....
I would definately do tie-rods ends/balljoint @ this time....
rear tie-rods are about $70 @ TPC ....
Great people @ TPC (no affiliation just satisfied customer)
But trust me do everything @ once.....
I did and it totally transforms the car!!!
Then drive it to an alignment shop and have her aligned (properly)

Then you will be grinning ear to ear!!
HTH!
