Anyone have a general idea of how long it would take for an average mechanic to do a rear struts/mounts, sway bar links, wires, plugs, and fuel filter job? Just want to make sure I'm not getting reamed on the labor.
Thanks.

I'll try to look up the labor times today if I get a chance. Or at least ask our shop foreman. Just guessing right now, around 4 hours for all of it.

If you so desire, you can get a quick strut for this vehicle. Cost more for the strut assembly but cuts down on labor.

Make sure you have the tools required to do the job though ;

1. Allen Wrenches
2. Box end wrenches
3. Spring Compressor
4. Impact gun (Optional)
5. Various Sockets (21mm, 12mm, 14mm, 17mm) basically 12-21mm should be fine
6. Jack stands
7. floor jack or scissor jack.
