How much should it cost to change the shock/coil spring on the rear side of a 1990 EF hatchback at a garage? My friend gave me his spare shock/coil all ready to be bolted on. Is $40 decent?
I would do it myself but i don't have a garage plus i just had surgery 2 days ago so i'm full of stitches! Thanks

 

40 is not bad in terms of shop prices.

it really only takes 20 mins if your doing it yourself unless the bolt is seized.

 

Exactly but if your paying a shop and everythings seized bend over and grab your ankles because your gonna get raped.

 

take 5 mins and call a few shops and get price quotes

 

Well, i changed my shock and spring and i still have that annoying "toc toc" noise when driving over small bumps

I guess there must be some worn out bushings somewhere. Any ideas on what to do next?

 

inspect and replace them if you need to

 

that noise is "dry strut" i believe.
it only happens in the winter/cold....
accords have this problem like madd.
