I dont know any indy that would do a boot replacement for $120 in So. California. That's dirt cheap. Hopefully that price also comes with quality service.

With the Mercedes indy, I got the part from my local BMW dealer. The "kit" cost $41 which included the lube and the clamps. I'm not sure how much this guy's gonna charge me but I'll let everyone know when I pick up the truck tonight.

The book gives 3 hrs for an axle service. $600 is relatively high but the dealership rate is about $740 for the job. If you can get it all done for under $450 by a professional, consider yourself lucky.
