Hello

Kevin C :

Kevin C :

Please wait to Accept

Kevin C :

I'm Kevin

Customer :

Hi Kevin, I just wanted to know how this is a $2000 job.. and is there a way I can get it done cheaper?

Kevin C :

Axle boots leaking grease?

Kevin C :

torn?

Customer :

Unsure what its leaking.. my mechanic said it just leaking, and i should either sell the car or cough up ~$2000 at eh next service to fix the CV joints.. I have no idea what the CV jnts do or what potentially could leak from it

Kevin C :

CV joints are the outer joints of the axle (Constant Velocity Joint) The price sounds terribly high. Here in the states at my dealer, we install both front Subaru Remanufactured axles for $650.00 American..thats parts and labor

Customer :

hmm.. I thought so also.. I shall shop around . thanks for your input..bj

Kevin C :

Good idea..thank you
