Is your quote fair?

A quote between $401 and $847 is inside the band where half of all Ford Taurus 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.
