what do you think of the quote. also my drop links have been replaced at 65k. In the hayes manual it shows how to test shocks by how many times each corner bounces cannot hardly move mine I get about 1/4 inch movement.

Regular Monroe seems to sell around £130 for a pair, so £250 for four on Ebay.
£900-£250=£650 that seems expensive for the labor


The original shocks on Volvo will still bounce fine at high miles, but they have lost the capacity to absorb quickly and smoothly street imperfections.
