Shock absorber prices and costs

Tags: #shock-absorbers · #price · #part-number

Dated prices for shock absorbers, strut assemblies, bearings and installation on the Russian market. Overview: Shock absorbers — overview and platform baseline.

Pricing (September 2024, Irkutsk, RU market): Narcin shocks ~1,700 RUB per unit; Belarusian-brand pneumatic air springs ~4,500 RUB per pair. Air-spring installation is often done at the same time as a shock swap to improve suspension travel ¹.

Rear shocks for the facelift (restyled) X80: aftermarket set for ~1,300 RUB (RU market, December 2024), part marking LYKMC L-1003805 (also written C/H 1003805). Installation requires filing a small groove for the retaining plate (~2 minutes with a flat file); reported to fit well and perform fine after a week of driving ².

Aftermarket bush-type shock/spring pricing: non-adjustable (bush-type) shock absorbers for a suspension upgrade run 800–1,500 RUB (RU market, February 2025) per pair; aftermarket spring options are plentiful ³.

Strut-assembly prices — Japanese import vs. Chinese Stellox (Feb 2026): complete Japanese strut assemblies (including springs and bearings), sourced via import companies on Avito, run 20,000–25,000 RUB (RU market, February 2026) per pair. New KYB units alone cost ~45,000 RUB (RU market, February 2026) per pair without backing plates or dust boots. Chinese Stellox struts are significantly cheaper but lower quality. Note: whether these prices are reasonable was itself debated by the community in the same thread ⁴⁵⁶.

Front suspension component replacement costs (March 2026, RU market): a consolidated price snapshot from the community — shock absorber support (strut mount) bearing SAM-4101 (Masuma, Mazda 6 02-07 spec): 3,500₽/pair; alternative bearing GJ6E-34-38X: 1,000₽/pair (fitment details for both are in the sources below); a complete used shock absorber assembly with mounting hardware (Mazda 6 GG, sourced from Avito, per pair): ~3,000₽; stabilizer bar links, NL308 polyurethane-reinforced (Mazda 6, pair): priced on Ozon (exact figure not given in this report — see the stabilizer bar bushings card). General recommendation reiterated here: OEM Mazda 6 shocks with correct fork type (вилки) are considered better quality than the stock X80 units ^789101112.

Rear shocks — Kayaba 344 363, real-world install cost (June 2026): real-world purchase+install experience matching the KYB 344363 pricing already noted in the aftermarket brands card: parts ~4,450₽ (per unit) plus ~4,000₽ labor; the lower shock-mounting bolts came out easily without needing to be cut or drilled ¹³.
