I have an 03 Hyundai Accent and have recently found out that one of the rear struts is leaking. I don't know much about struts, but my mechanic told me that it would probably cost around $300-$350 for parts and installation to repair the problem. I chalk it up to me daily commuting in NJ, the state full of potholes every few feet away from each other.

Anyway, does that sound reasonable to get a rear strut replaced and installed? IF it sounds too high, does anyone have a place within central NJ that they can recommend? I usually trust my mechanic, but $350 sounds kind of high and he tends to like to use his own part dealer rather than researching good deals elsewhere. All he told me was that the passenger's side rear strut was leaking and that's probably what is causing my car to shimmy and vibrate on the highway at high speeds, which has made my car have a rough ride at the 50+ mph range on the highway and when I slighty turn onto highway ramps, I notice the right side of the car tends to feel like it is swaying a little, not much though.

I appreciate any feedback.
