Struts and shocks replacement cost
for a Toyota Hilux

Replacing struts and shocks on a Toyota Hilux involves removing the worn suspension dampers at all four corners to restore ride control and stability. The cost is driven by the Hilux's robust construction requiring more labour for access, and the wide price range between basic and heavy-duty aftermarket parts designed for its workhorse use.

Can you do it yourself?

Possible with skill — requires proper tools like spring compressors, jack stands, and torque wrenches for safe disassembly and reassembly of the suspension.

Tips before you pay

Consider replacing in pairs (front and/or rear) to maintain balanced handling.
For off-road use, investing in upgraded, durable shocks is often worthwhile.
Always get a wheel alignment after replacement to prevent premature tire wear.
