Hi all,

one of my struts is blown out, however the shop said it cannot be replaced singly but all 4 struts. It is around $900 parts and labor.

I am wondering why should all 4 struts need to be replaced when one is kaput? Is the shop right?

I'd like your opinion before authorizing the job.


Thanks for your input.
