Hello.

Could anybody please advise on the approximate cost to repair Nearside and Offiside Macpherson Strut slight movement on my Ford Ka 2001?

Thanks

Should take about 1 to 1.5 hours to replace. Most independant garages charge £50-80 per hour, so then add 20% vat you will get a figure from that.

Also add part costs... if you supply then they will add 10-20% on top of the labour costs as they make a few quid on parts supplied.

Thanks for that. I've got a mechanic mate, so hopefully get mates rate on labour. Any ideas on parts cost?
