Sky - this is what I do when someone wants me to work on their car for non basic stuff. I call the dealer and ask them how much it would be to do that job. Then I ask how much of that is labor but I stop there so I limit how much of their time I waste. From there you can figure at minimum of $75 an hour from the dealer. But you might get lucky on here with someone that can look up the book time directly for you.

I do all my own work. Time wise,the work that skyline listed is alot of labor. Anything under $400 labor ,should be a good deal.

When I did my struts, it took me 1.5 hour to do both with QuickStruts, 2 hours to do both without.
When I did my complete control arm replacements it took me 45 minutes a side.
All times include jacking it up & down to jackstands, R&R wheels, stopping to open beverages, cussing at busted knuckles, finding the correct socket or extension etc.
So, it took a semi-skilled shade tree mechanic 3 hours to actually do the jobs start to finish, with beverage support. I will gladly accept $200 US if you drive to my garage and supply the parts and your own food and lodging. Beverages included (my brand only).
