tell the dealer if you get in an accident due to poor handling, your lawyer will be suing them for damages, due to negligence by not replacing the shocks in pairs.

if he still won't budge...then i'd consider getting 4 shocks for $50 and INSTALL THEM YOURSELF.

install the rears, save the fronts for another day.

are these '04 shocks? if they're '03 i'd buy them for $50.
only problem with doing that.. and trying to screw the dealership you go to might come back to you when you need something done from them.. unless there are any other dealerships you could go to..

Mine went out this summer with about 50K on the clock and the dealer replaced both of them under my extended warranty. They said they only last about 50K.......get it done now, it's free.

Just like if you get a flat you try to get them in pairs if they have high mileage.
