They charged me about $45/ea when i bought mine. It's stupid that there's a
little ball joint in there, I don't think it does anything for the
suspension except make it cost moar. I looked all over for a cheaper part
and nobody made them when I needed them, not energy or any other suspension
company out there. I was pretty dissapointed.
