Repair Cost Guide

Struts and shocks replacement cost
for a Honda CR-V

Replacing struts and shocks on a Honda CR-V involves removing the worn suspension components at all four corners and installing new ones, which restores ride comfort and handling. The cost is driven primarily by the choice between standard replacement parts and more expensive premium or OEM units, as well as the vehicle's specific generation which can affect part complexity and labour time.

Cost breakdown

Parts: ~$400-$900 / Labour: ~$350-$500

What affects the price

OEM vs. aftermarket parts (e.g., Monroe, KYB, or Honda Genuine)
CR-V generation (e.g., 4th gen vs. newer 5th gen with different assemblies)
Including ancillary parts like mounts, boots, or alignment

Can you do it yourself?

Possible with skill — Requires spring compressors for struts, proper jack stands, and alignment tools. Rear shocks are simpler but front strut assembly is complex and hazardous if springs are not handled correctly.

Tips before you pay

Consider replacing strut mounts and bearings simultaneously to save on future labour.
A wheel alignment is mandatory after this repair to prevent tire wear.
For many CR-V years, buying pre-assembled quick-struts can simplify installation and reduce labour cost.
