Guest Sundancefisher Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Toyota dealer says we need new front springs/shocks for $800 total. Who else does this work in town that you would recommend... Dealers charge way to much if it indeed needs doing. After only 50,000 km I am more than a little annoyed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Why would you need new springs?At only 50K I can see shocks but not springs.Unless you like to jump cars or something.I would get some other quotes.Maybe a new set of shocks is all you need.
