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 Since each car will have four shock absorbers, a do-it-yourself job could cost upwards of $400. 2  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. You may find that many different manufacturers sell them at different prices. 2  The quality of the shock absorbers can also differ and this is another reason why the price can also be different. 3  On average, the price of these shock absorbers can be anywhere from $40 to as much as $120 for the part alone.
