Hi,

Recently I did service of my Toyota corolla(2002,Automatic) at ultra tune. they reckon I should change my rear shock absorbent because of oil leakage .Thay also told me it is a bit safty risk if it get worse. . They quote me approx $600 for both . I need some expert advice about this matter.

I appreciate any input in this matter.

600 bucks for just the two!!! christ alive , don;t quote me but i would have thought the shockers would be gas and not oil filled , but DON'T quote me... definatly not a 600 clam job for the rear two go and see a few different places and get it done by the cheapest if it's that bad mate.

Quoting you for this post but not quoting you in the sense you were referring to, but even gas shocks will still have some oil in them.


Yeah, definitely not a $600 job. I'd find somewhere else and never go back to that place again. Maybe you could save yourself $500 and get a pair of spring compressors and do it yourself

hatch or sedan? i dunno what the difference in shocks are as i have never looked under a sedan, but i know hatch u have to remove seat and boot trims, even so its not a 600 job, as said b4 shop around and u will be amazed how much cheaper u will find

how much are the parts?? and labour ??

I asked same job with Toyota reseller and they quoted me roughly $340*2 . K mart is the same....I will try to get part and labor as well

any comment on above prices or any one has done the same job ....

ive taken my rear shocks out of the car and put them back in, removal of trims inside the car to get to the bolts and put new springs on, hr half?

Ultra Tune, Midas and a few others seem to charge more than Toyota for things like this, it's a wonder sometimes lol...


If you're going to replace them I would recommend KYB gas shocks...

My set of KYB Excel G ( all 4 side) i got for less than 600 delivered.

That's a hot price Guni bird, where was that from? Also, the stock shocks do leak oil, but that's the first time I've heard of the rears leaking.

Where are you located? I still have my rears boxed up, stored upright and compressed. They were fine on the car.
