Hi Guys, \r\n\r\nI have Lancer 12/2000 , I took my car to the mechanic, he told me I need to change my front and rear shock abosorbers- noisy and soft. I asked him how much its gone cost me, he told me around $1200 Can you guys please advice me how do I know that I need to replace my absorbers and whats the chepeast way to do it ?

Usually you can tell that they are bad when, There is oil coming out of them or they are soft and or making noise. The back shock I believe you can change them your self and the front ones are little bite freaky and you will need help because of the Spring that can jump on you and hurt you if you dont know how to luck them. But anyhow if you go on the Advance auto part or pepe boys store then you can ask them for the price of the Parts you need then you can get them and put the back ones your self and try to find somebody online or near you that do Mechanics on the side and he might do the front ones for you for a good price. Good luck
