Is your quote fair?
A quote between $599 and $1,221 is inside the band where half of all Ford F-150 strut replacements landed. Below it is not automatically a bargain (aftermarket loaded struts, alignment skipped); above it is not automatically gouging (OEM struts, all four corners, alignment included, sway-bar links replaced while apart) — but both ends deserve a question.
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.
