Default suspension question

My wife has a AT telstar (1/92 model) 4cyl.

The front & rear shocks have gone & no doubt a range of bushes have gone also.

Can anyone give be a real rough idea of what costs I shoudl expect to pay. I know it a hos long ois a piece of string question, but I am after a ball park figure.

Thanks

go munro if you can - some bushes from repco -shop around
or do fronts first then backs later
$800-to $1000 as to what quality shocks you want

yes if you have got the knowlage and tools

buy the strut and spring in one piece

just need to undo the two strut bolts above the stub axels
and the brake lines
undo the nuts under the bonnet and the strut falls out

rebleed the brake lines after refitting
