VerifiedYou should take it to your dealership or preferred garage to get it checked over.
It could be that a pipe or connector has just come off and needs to be refitted.
If it's more serious and major components need to be replaced then at least you can make an informed choice when you are told what is required.
Costs vary depending on labour rates. Some garages charge £50 per hour whilst others can charge over £150. The time to replace both rear struts if required would be just under 3 hours.
