Researching for a money-strapped buddy here...
He has an 02 Focus. Work car. Needs shocks/struts. Went to a shop and they quoted him shocks, struts and an alignment for $589.
That seemed pretty high to me. He has the know-how to do the shocks and struts himself. But not the alignment. Is it essential to do an alignment after a shock/strut replacement?
Any feedback would be appreciated. My friend is down to working 32 hour weeks and has a new baby. I'm trying to save him some money.
