$450 Shocks??? I Think Not..

[loloterp]

can someone help me...my 2000 catera is making alot of noise when i ride over a pothole or bump. it's really bad, makes me wanna cry. It comes from the rear passenger side tire. I had a mechanic look at it, saying that i needed new suspension shocks and that the price was a $450/per shock. He also said that i would need two of them. So thatll be 900 just for shocks. So where can i get cheaper shocks and service. Im in the DC MD area. the noise is really bad and my leveling and brake pads lights are on. I just wanna sell the care b/c it also takes up alot my gas and is expensive and hard to repair. I jus wanna a "regular" car. My catera has app. 127,000 miles. How much do you think i could sell it for? but most important, where can i get cheap shocks? thank u

well what i did was buy the GTO rear shock. they fit perfectly... this disables the air leveling system.. also gives you better handeling... you just have to remove the leveling bulb or it'll keep flashing

rock auto has them for $50 or so for 2
