I just had some Bilstein Heavy Duty shocks put in my car amongst other things. There is a funny sound coming out of one of the rear shocks. Also the other minor problems that I brought it in for are back. I'm not sure how repuatable this place was. It seems like a lot of labor hours were charged for what was done as well.

Just for the install of shocks, what is the estimated amount of labor hours necessary? Thanks for the help.


6-8 for the fronts alone. Rear are quicker.

Noise could be air bubbles in the fluid if the shocks were stored horizontal. Should go away after a couple of days if so.
