Just one MLB team, the Houston Astros, is mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. More realistically, 14 teams are virtually done.
Typical costs: 1  Shock absorbers or struts can cost $25-$350 or more each, depending on the make and model of vehicle and the quality of the part. Although it could cost as much as $1,400 for a set of four, most do-it-yourselfers spend an average of $150-$250 to replace four shocks/struts.
1 If the air suspension shocks or the struts have the be replaced, this can cost anywhere from $300 to as much as $2,000 in addition to the prices mentioned above. 2  After the installation has been completed, some mechanics may want to do a realignment. This would not include the price of labor. 2  Since each car will have four shock absorbers, a do-it-yourself job could cost upwards of $400. 3  To have a mechanic perform the job, the charge could be anywhere from $300 to as much as $900 depending on the number of absorbers that have to be replaced.
