My offside rear shock absorber is leaking badly and needs replacing. So firstly how much should i pay for a replacement? Not too sure about eBay anymore having bought a 'dodgy' wheel bearing from there recently. And also once purchased how much should a garage charge to switch them over?

Changing shock is super simple & if taking care & ones time it would be done in under an hour.

hard to say on price of shock as used or new genuine or aftermarket shocks vary greatly from £50 to way past £130.

Hi, I've got some problems with my rear shocks too. Bad knocking from the back end. I was looking at scoobyworld.co.uk and they do a pair of rear KYB shocks for £265.

 

3 hours to replace 1 rear shock is a bit (pardon the pun) shocking. rear wheel off, rear seat out and your right in about. 3 nuts on the top of the strut and 2 bolt at the bottom, unclip the brake flexi and that's the rear strut out.
