[quote=Anonymous]Sadly, a CV boot is relatively inexpensive rubber part (even for a Mercedes) but that cost a lot to install because the mechanic has to take time to remove the wheels , brakes, and suspension to slide the donut-shaped boot onto the axle. The $1200 price does not seem crazy for changing two boots, but you could compare between shops. You need to change a torn boot because it keeps grease in the axle assembly to allows the wheels to turn, and the torn boot will let water get in and rust the axle assembly. So, if you don't repair it, your axle will rust and the wheels will seize. [/quote]
