    You aren't saving any money by getting a shock absorber in a scrapyard. Just be sure your mechanic will let you supply parts and is also OK with fitting scrap yard parts. Usually for a shock you are looking at around an hour a side, so if your getting your front shocks done, that's two hours.

    What exactly is wrong with your suspension???

    Thanks for the speedy reply!

    Its fine on well paved road, but when it goes over a bumpy road its making noise. Its kind of a grown. When i get out and lean on the offside front it groans, but not on the nearside.

    Pretty sure its that.

    An hour you say? Great! How much for a new shock? (roughly of course)

    thanks
