Is there a difference in a shock/strut assembly and just the strut on this vehicle? My daughter had her vehicle fixed and they put in a USED strut/shock ASSEMBLY along with hub assembly. The strut is bad. It was leaking the next morning. She took it back and they said to put a new one on would be $300 for a new ASSEMBLY or $70 for another used one. I called another dealer and they quoted $80 labor and $76.23 for the part. Are they talking the same thing or two different things?
