Struts and mounts

So my '95 wagon just got its 120,000 Mile check-up and after timing belt change etc... (and a new tranny solenoid... $350 ouch!) everything's fine except for the rear suspension which seems quite bumpy and in major need of a change. I have read on here that for this gen. (3?) camry the actual strut mounts themselves may need to be repaired/replaced - so not being a mechanic and not wanting to do it myself, I am wondering what I should expect to pay for just new struts vs. all new with the mounts included.

Well, the price for the strut depends on what brand you plan to buy. Obviously, the crappy "Gabriel" shocks I got were like... 47 bucks a pop. As opposed to the Monroe Sensa-trac that were like... 79 a pop. As far as labor, i couldn't tell you. I did the shocks my damn self 'cuz I'm just that cheap. As well, that service manual for the Gen 3 in the sticky.. It's awesome...

P.S. 92-96 = Gen 3... But, before the technical TN kids come out and start screamin', 92-94 = Gen 3 95-96= Gen 3.5 I doubt you care what makes 'em different but it's all cosmetic.
