[Supras] Rear Strut cost

[Hacker J]

Well, if the car has TEMS then the rear interior panels need to come out to get those three top bolts off. I'd say 2 hours for a car with TEMS is reasonable.

Amen.

Including lug nuts, there are 10 nuts to turn.

5 lugnuts
1 swaybar link
1 lower strut bolt
3 upper strut nuts.

Then you take over the units to a shop with your new $30-100/ea struts
depending what you purchase, and pay em $20 to change them on their spring
compressor.
