well i decided not to do it but then.....

I needed to do my Axle because it was starting to go... while doing the axle, my friend noticed that my dust boot was blown up like a balloon. Well it happened that my power steering rack was leaking, FML some more... so that needed to be done BAD. Since all that stuff above needs to come out, we did the Valley Pan too...
So we changed the water pump (beginning to go bad from the looks of it), the axle, the valley pan, the power steering rack and the parts at wholesale cost around $2000.... + alignment... How much do you think the labor cost?
