How much to replace rear struts?

[Black Stallion]

Anybody kno how much my rear struts would run me. I just need a ballpark number. It seems that the struts arent expensive, just the labor. Mine have been bad for a while, and I mean a while, and I want to replace them.

Depending on what struts you decide to buy will definitly effect the price. I had Monroe Sensatracs put on the rear for $200.00 plus tax. That price is including labor. I only paid half price on the labor because they were running a special. So a more realistic price would be like $280.00 plus tax. Don't forget that you will also have to tack on another $50.00-60.00 dollars for an alignment. Also the cost of any worn out parts that need replacing.

Well my mechanic is gonna do it, so more likely the cheapest he can find.

They have to do an alignment for the rear?

If I had to do my SHO's rear suspension again I would have someone else do it. It took me WAY too long and I uttered enough profanities to make Ozzy look like a saint. 2 broken pinch bolts was NOT FUN.

I'd say 5-600 in labor... rather conservative numbers. FWIW I LOVED my monroe quick struts in the rear of my SHO. It felt SO nice. Never got a chance to do the fronts...

We should have asked Jerry when we were at his garage, he's done several for me.
If I remember I'll ask him Friday, but figure under $200.
An alignment wouldn't hurt but I don't believe it is mandatory.
And don't forget to replace the 'knocking' upper mounts, $70 per pair from Ford or less at Napa.
