Repair Cost Guide

Struts and shocks replacement cost
for a Jeep Wrangler

Replacing the struts and shocks on a Jeep Wrangler involves removing the old suspension dampers at all four corners and installing new ones. The cost is driven by the choice of parts, from standard OEM replacements to premium off-road shocks, and the labour intensity of the job, especially for models with more complex suspension systems.

Cost breakdown

Parts: ~$400-$900 / Labour: ~$450-$500

What affects the price

Type of replacement part (basic OEM vs. performance/off-road shocks like Fox or Bilstein)
Model year and trim (e.g., Rubicon models may have more complex components)
Whether only shocks are replaced or if strut assemblies/mounting hardware are also needed

Can you do it yourself?

Possible with skill — Requires proper tools (spring compressors for struts), jack stands, and knowledge of suspension systems. Rear shocks are simpler than front struts.

Tips before you pay

Consider replacing both sides (left/right) even if only one is faulty to maintain balanced handling.
For off-road use, upgrading to monotube shocks can improve performance and durability.
Have a professional alignment performed after the replacement, especially if front struts were changed.
