In cell biology, a biomarker is a molecule that allows the detection and isolation of a particular cell type (for example, the protein Oct-4 is used as a biomarker to identify embryonic stem cells).
1 Secondly, the type of shocks and struts will affect the price since these parts are designed for a specific make and model of car. 2  On average, the shocks and struts replacement can be anywhere from $100 to as much as $300 for the parts alone.3  This will not include the cost of professional labor. The cost of the mechanic depends on how much each shop charges since the competition will cause some to lower their prices. 2  If taken into a mechanic, many opt to perform an alignment. 3  A simple tire alignment can cost anywhere from $100 to $150 but can help the shocks and struts to last longer.
If you believe your struts are bad, you should have the vehicle checked by an experienced front-end or suspension mechanic. After struts are changed a new front wheel alignment is usually necessary. According to Cost Helper, replacing struts cost between $300 and $700, including the price of labor.If you have a luxury car the price goes up to between $700 and $1,000; and if that luxury car is a Lexus the cost can still rise even more.f you have a car that has front-wheel drive, chances are you have struts on the front-end suspension. Struts are a combination of various front-end components that includes shock absorbers, coil spring, steering knuckles, spring seats and strut bearings.
