* Brand: Name brands like Monroe, Bilstein, KYB, and Rancho will generally be more expensive than no-name or store brands. Higher-end brands often offer improved performance and longevity.
* Type of shock: Different shock types (e.g., gas-charged, monotube, twin-tube) offer varying levels of performance and price.
* Where you buy them: Retailers like AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, NAPA, and online vendors like Amazon will have different pricing. Dealerships will typically be the most expensive.
* Vehicle configuration: Whether your Liberty is 2WD or 4WD will affect the price, as 4WD vehicles require more shocks.
* Location: Prices can vary slightly by region due to shipping and local market factors.
Expect to pay anywhere from $25 to $100+ per shock. This means a total cost of $50 to $400+ for a set of four shocks (or potentially more if it's a 4WD vehicle needing more). Getting a price quote from your preferred parts supplier for your specific Jeep Liberty model (including 2WD or 4WD) is the best way to determine the actual cost.
