suspension / noobie
Hi - Just bought a 2001 S80 2.9 (73,000 miles). Car's in excellent condition, but needs new struts all around. I was quoted about $1100 for struts / shocks for all four corners by an Indy mechanic shop. Does this seem about right in your experience, or should I look elsewhere for a lower price??
PS- Love the car!

You can get Monroe shocks and struts for all four corners for under $400 from rockauto.com. I installed them myself. If you aren't wanting to do yourself then you could check with a local shop, or maybe an alignment shop to see if they would do it if you supplied the parts.
Be sure to replace the strut bearings and rubber bushings/seats too. Not that expensive and not worth taking the chance having them fail when your struts are still good.
