How do you repair a 95 wrangler 4 cyl.that is bogging down at high RPM's above 4k.?
The first thing I would do is replace the fuel filter and air filter. Also if the vehicle has over 80,000 miles, I would replace the plugs and plug wires. Also check all vacuum hoses for a leak. Replace them all if you find one is cracked and leaking as this is a very inexpensive repair. Do them one at a time, so as to not get confused on the location and how they are routed.

How do you know if your front shocks are gone on your 1995 Intrepid and how do you replace them?
It has Struts and not shocks. If the car is bouncing or floating whenever you hit a dip in the road, or seems to handle poorly, these are signs of worn struts. A leak in one of the struts is also a sign of a bad strut. Mileage is another factor. Struts today will last a long time, but if the car has over 100,000 miles, then more than likely the struts need replacing. As to replacing them, unless you have the proper tools and knowledge, take it to a pro. Serious injury can occur when replacing struts, if you don't know what you are doing.

There are at least two reasons. First one is malfunctioning strut itself (leakage). Second one is holders which attache struts to the car body have some rubber parts inside.

How much does it cost to replace shocks and struts on a 2005 Nissan maxima?
i have a 2004 altima and have received quotes for the 2 front struts. one quote is as high as 300 dollars per side..parts, labor, tire balance and front end alignment. this quote is based upon Nissan parts, or what a Nissan dealership would charge to do it. the mechanic said it would be less..but he wouldn't say how much more less. 2nd quote is 115 per side..that's all they said-with the exception that you should replace all 4 at the same time(rolling eyes) You do not have to replace all four struts at once, but you shouldn't just do one at time either. Replace them in pairs if you can't do all four. Struts are around $200 each. I would not recommend having a Nissan dealer replace them because the labor alone is going to cost way too much money; have a local certified mechanic do it instead.
