What this repair is

Struts combine the spring and damper into one leg of your suspension. Worn ones bounce after bumps, clunk, cup tires, and stretch stopping distance. They are replaced in pairs per axle, and an alignment afterward is part of an honest quote — the strut sets the geometry the alignment depends on.

What moves the price

Loaded vs. bare — pre-assembled struts cost more in parts, less in labor.
One axle or both — the typical job is one axle.
Alignment — struts set the geometry — expect it on the invoice.

Quotes near the low end usually mean aftermarket loaded struts, alignment skipped. Quotes near the high end usually mean OEM struts, all four corners, alignment included, sway-bar links replaced while apart.
