Well, that depends on if you are willing to do it yourself or have someone else do it. Doing it yourself will require about $70.00 for the CV shaft and some time, effort, and know how.
To have a garage do it, there will be a wide range of prices. The average price, including parts, is $400.00-$600.00. If you purchase the part you may be able to lower this price.
The job is not difficult, but it is time consuming and takes at least one special tool. I recommend going to a certified mechanic unless you are fairly savvy with cars.
Truthfully a good mechanic can have it done in about 15 minutes. You still will be charged 1 to 2 hours labor.
Let me point out it is not that they are really cheating you. what you are paying for is there years of experience. Most places have a computer program with the allotted times jobs are charged by. They have to pay for this service it might be from Mitchel to all-data.
p.s. I have seen mechanic's that are ASE certified that have know business being a mechanic.
30mm
Four, two on each axle.
1 - simplest and cheapest method- replace the axle 2- replace the CV joints and boots 3- lots of unnecessary work, very expensive - check the joints and replace as needed, replace boots
Yes, It is in the way.
The 2000 Ram had u joints, not cv joints at the front axle.
It is best to replace the whole axle, Its easy to do not to mention pretty inexpensive....
The parts cost about $200 and it's a 4-5 hour job to replace both sides.
It does have CV joints but, it is best to just swap out the complete axle assembly than to replace only the CV joint. You will spend much time and almost as much money trying to replace the CV joint than to just purchase a reconditioned axle assembly and swap it.
It doesn't have universal joints. The axle shafts have constant velocity (CV) joints.It doesn't have universal joints. The axle shafts have constant velocity (CV) joints.
EITHER 30MILLIMETER 32 OR 36 MILLIMETER I 'vote' for the 30mm - Ford seems to use that size often (Sable/Taurus have 'em too)
most shops will want to replace entire axle shaft which is the way to go, depending on where you take it should cost 175-250 per axle,
