How much does it cost to repair suspension?
Typical costs: Replacing a suspension system averages about $1,000 -$2,000, and will often cost more than that for rare or luxury cars. A lot depends on the type of suspension system in a particular make, model and year and the amount of wear and rust underneath the vehicle. What should be included: The suspension system is part of the chassis, which contains all the important systems located underneath the body of a vehicle. The three main components of a suspension system are springs, dampers/shock absorbers and anti-sway bars. The exact configuration depends on the make, model and year of the vehicle. CarBibles.com provides an extremely detailed explanation of various types of suspensions–front, rear, dependent, independent, etc. Generally both sides (left and right) of a suspension system should be replaced at the same time, and depending on the wear and tear, often the front and rear systems should be done together, to avoid having new parts add to the stress of old, worn parts.
