depends what you are looking for... if you're looking for cheap shocks proably around $100 pair. good ones around $200 install isn't too hard either.

Don't just replace the rears. Make sure you replace all 4 at once. If the rears are shot, then the fronts are soon to follow. Plus it will unbalance your cars handling and probably make you have an oversteer problem because the rears will be newer and more resistant to movement cause a stiffer rear suspension. Also about your hub. If your hub has movement to it, then your bearings might be shot, as opposed to your hub being broken. If you can grip the top of your tire and push and pull and feel movement, its probably the bearings.
