One of the front shocks in my 1981 Plymouth Horizon has had it after 38000 
miles.  Because the car has MacPherson strut front suspension, the job is going
to cost big bucks.  I got three opinions, all of which said that I need to
replace both front strut assemblies.  

My local service station will install Monroe assemblies for $170.  Sears
wants $140 for their work, and Firestone has a special on "super struts"
for $115.  All three say I'll need a front end alignment after installation.

I'm not sure which is best.  Any recommendations?
