Is it difficult to replace the struts and shocks on a 2000 Chevy Malibu?

2005 Chevy Malibu, shocks in rear, Struts in front.

They have struts!

Shocks and struts are an important part of a car's suspension system. Both shocks and struts are used to keep a vehicle from bouncing when it is being driven. Shocks are less expensive to replace then struts.

It doesn't have struts. It has coil-over shocks.

spring struts

I paid $900 for shocks/struts and bushings. I was told that was the "brother in law" discount.

It only involves removing the wheel and removing the two strut bolts. Then opening the hood and removing the two nuts and one bolt. Fairly easy.

About $1000 for me.

you don't! there are no shocks. you must replace the struts.

The cost to replace the shocks and struts on a 2000 Dodge Neon ranges from $120 to $1,000. This cost ranges based on the part brand and any special additives.

A 1995 Accord does not have shocks. It has double wishbone suspension with struts. It is obvious you do not have the skill or tools to replace the struts. Serious injury can occur if not done correctly. Take it to a professional.

you can but it will ride a little bit more rough

Your shocks/struts are worn out, time to replace them.

It does not have shocks on the front it has struts which should only be replace by a professional. The rear shocks are easily replaced. Just unbolt them and install the new ones.

The Dodge Intrepid does not have rear struts. This automobile has rear shocks and springs. The shocks can be removed by removing the retaining bolts on the top and bottom of the shock. Reverse the process to install the new shocks.

Replace the shocks, or struts if equipped.

Depending on your vehicle, how much of the work you do yourself, and the type of shocks and struts you buy, it can cost about 250 to about 800 dollars. This price also varies depending on the area where you live.

Replace the shocks and struts! :-D

The 4Runner doesn't have struts; it has coil-over shocks in front. After removing the old shocks a spring compressor is required to remove the springs and install them on the new shocks. Take it to a front end shop that has the proper compressor and tools; it's very dangerous if you don't have good equipment and experience. The rear shocks are easy to replace by yourself.

Shocks are just that, shocks. There is already a suspension system in place and you add shocks to it. The shocks can be replaced easily. Struts have part of the suspension and the shocks included in one assembly. The struts have to be disassembled for access to the shocks.

no, not at all replace the front when the time comes..

1 per wheel/replace in pairs. You are lucky-they are cheaper than struts & easier to replace.

I was quoted just over $700 to replace struts & shocks in the front and rear of my '99 Dodge Caravan. Earlier I was quoted just under $700 to replace the same in my '91 Ford Escort.

If you have worn Struts on a vehicle, those can be replaced without replacing your springs. "Struts" and "Shocks" are often used interchangeably in language, however, I believe your vehicle is a front wheel drive with a double wishbone suspension. In this case, they would be more accurately referred to as "Struts". Just for reference. In either case, the answer is still, yes. Shocks/Struts can be replaced without replacing the springs as well.

Struts on the front , but motorcraft.com lists shocks and struts for the back ( I'm confused ! )

Rear shocks cost anywhere from $55 to $85 each. There is also the labor charge to install them.

4 shocks ONLY, NO struts.

Struts in the front, shocks in the rear.

some times you will never . but also they get replaced when they leak or have no bounce control.

1991 mercury cougars use shocks and struts

S10 dont have struts the have coil springs and shocks

the struts are replaceable... but not rebuildable. some of the parts from the old struts can be used. struts are just like shocks and will wear out over a period of time. they are not that exspensive and is recommended to let a certified mechanic replace.

Struts. Struts.

Cars would use shocks or struts in front but not both.

Actually your Camry has struts but many people refer to them as shocks. Struts are used instead of shocks because they are more effiecient and last longer.
