If you've done it in other cars, it will be simple.

If you've never done it before, and don't have the tools, it will be very time consuming, but not difficult.

Just remember to mark the perches so you know which way goes forward.

Ali,

I think $200 is the going rate to do it right. Be sure they follow the manual to prevent problems later.

If you want to do this yourself, there are a few threads about that. Not too difficult but you would have to have changed struts on another car before tackling this job.
