I list book at 2 hours for R&R of the the front strut assemblies, plus an hour if they need to swap springs, etc.

Rear is 1 hour.

You will also need an alignment (book on that is 4.2 hours).

I just took it to "Just Brakes". I think they charged me about $150 or so for front and rears.

Then as mentioned an alignment is needed; $99-200 depending on shop.

Its 4.2hrs on the book for an alignment? Dayumn. I may take my car to big-o instead of having the shop do it.
