[quote=Anonymous]$1200 is about right. They’re replacing the entire shaft assembly, not just the boots. The shafts are probably around $450 each side, along with $300 labor. The reason they’re replacing the shafts and not just the boots is by the time you notice the tears in the boots it’s usually already too late - the grease has leaked out and the bearings are already trashed. So if you see a torn boot, you just replace the whole shaft, because the damage has already been done. It’s not a difficult job, you just raise the car, pull the wheel off, pull the brake rotor, remove the axle nut, and pull the CV shaft out through the hub. New one goes in the same way, everything goes back together. Takes about an hour each side. $1,200 is a fair price. [/quote]
