Hi arjun ,

I am glad to know that ur taking extra care of ur ford machine . As per my view , first of all, check whether the shocks are really not working properly or is it the struts and the mounts ? , usually in ford ikon, struts and mounts do get damaged , get it checked at an authorized service station , i am sure that they will guide u properly ,the price for the struts is 1500/- approx for a individually unit . if the shocks are damaged , in my advice u just have to change shock absorbers and not the suspension unit and lower arm . , its a personal advice to you that , get ur car checked in an Authorized service station .
