Is your quote fair?
A quote between $353 and $996 is inside the band where half of all Jeep Wrangler shock and strut replacements landed. Below it is not automatically a bargain (rear shocks on a truck — bolt-on, no alignment); above it is not automatically gouging (front strut assemblies with mounts, alignment, air-suspension conversions) — but both ends deserve a question.
What moves the price
- Shocks vs. struts — shocks bolt on; struts carry the spring and need an alignment afterward.
- Complete assemblies — pre-assembled struts cost more in parts but save labor.
- Pairs — always replaced per axle in pairs.
