Hey guys,
I have been experiencing a cracking sound when I turn my wheel for about 6 months now. I am pretty sure that it is broken CV joint covers. Today I brought the cars in for an estimate and they quoted me 150 for each side, plus 2 hours labor, which comes out to about $600 for the whole job. I have a few questions that I was hoping someone could answer who has experience with this sort of thing: -Is $600 a fair price? -Should the whole axle assembly be replaced? I was thinking that they'd just do the boots but the mechanic said that it was only an extra $50 to do the whole thing (on the estimate they called it REMIN CV COMPL ASSY), and that no one just does the boots. -How difficult of a job would this to be to do myself? How long would it take? If I do do it myself, where can I get the parts for cheep? Thanks for the help guys! |

might be cheaper/easier to do the whole axle.
