bekker 7 Report post Posted January 30, 2010 Hi guys, Car failed WOF and this was one of the things it failed on. Weighing up whether to fix it or replace it. Are these difficult to replace? I'm assuming the whole shock and spring assembly has to be lowered down. Can anyone give me an idea approx how many hours work it is for a reasonably competent home mechanic? Also any idea how much they cost? I will check on monday but thought I'd ask anyway. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
