General how much to buy & fit rear shocks

[smill]

hi there, my marea needs rear shocks replacing, as 1 leaking.
would anyone have any idea how much they would cost roughly to buy & fit?

If fitting shockers is the same as the Bravo/a then it can be done yourself with very little fuss.

Cost of shocks are £18each (always replace in pairs). Labour at a garage should be £25-£35p/h, 1hour max. Or Free if you do it yourself.

Joske where do shocks cost £18 each? and is it worth going some better ones like bilstein etc?

Any motor factor will sell Marea shocks, not expensive. As noted they are easy to change so if you cant be bothered to do it yourself it wont cost a fortune at a garage. Use a small independant it might help if you let them supply as well as fit, they may get a trade price better than you will and it helps keep the total cost of the job down. Mareas ride pretty well so I dont think it's worth going for expensive shocks. If only they had put a smaller front anti roll bar on the car.

At a Motorfactors, typically KYB or similar. You could also try www.buypartsby.co.uk. Definately no need to upgrade to Bilstein shocks or similar, KYB are excellent shocks.
