Default 1995 Lt1 struts

I have a 1995 z28 which has been making alot of noise from the drivers front tire area. I think it's the struts and I was wondering what the price of changing them would be since I can't do it myself. Any estimates including parts and labor would be appreciated.

i would say 600 to 2000 bucks depending on the mechanic and quality/price of the parts.

I would crawl under the car and see what's really
Going on it could be something else and the wrong money
Was spent on the wrong part
Look and see if there are any leaks around the struts bushings sway bar ect.
Upper/lower control arm bushings
I understand you are gonna pay somebody else to do the job but you need to get to know that also .most of all I hate to see somebody get taken advantage of as well

start spraying parts with a good lubricant but only one part at a time that way you can figure out exactly what it is also if it is a strut there pretty easy to replace if you want to save yourself quite a bit of money we all can tell you exactly how to do it

Thx for the advice going to lift it and take a look before I go and pay to get it fixed. What I did notice earlier today was that the noise is squeaky at all times until I get on new roads. Then I don't hear the squeak as much. Another thing I tried was pushing down on the cars drivers side and I could clearly hear the squeak.
