shock installation cost
1 Shock absorbers or struts can cost $25-$350 or more each, depending on the make and model of vehicle and the quality of the part. 2  Although it could cost as much as $1,400 for a set of four, most do-it-yourselfers spend an average of $150-$250 to replace four shocks/struts.he front shocks were done by a mechanic for $160 to front and back total was $600. Bought rear shocks OEM from Toyota cost $112 but the bushings nuts bolts rubber spacers cost another $100 in parts almost more than the shocks. The install was done by my friend at his house for $180 so the total job cost almost $400.
