If so seems really cheap since the part itself i believe runs like $225 or so?

I never asked my mechanic if he used oem or aftermarket but as 01bmwx5 suggested, he probably DID use aftermarket. It was my front passenger axle that was replaced and I havent had a problem since. I see you're in NYC. If you can make it there, give him a call. He's in Flatbush Brooklyn.
