Ohh Boy...Have to get frt axels and sway bar links fixed...

[sawastea]

2001 3.0 with 95K miles on it. Bought it mid last year with 85K on it. No warranty and when I got my oil changed today at a local mechanic, he was looking over the car (front end noises when hitting bumps at slow speeds). Final word was that I need to get my front axles replaced as well as the sway bar links.

~$1400 in parts and labor.

Am I getting hosed?

Currently living in Fairfield County, CT.

I was quoted $2600 by the $tealer for the same job 2 weeks after I purchased our CPO '01. I mentioned not a red cent and lawsuit in the same sentence and asked how CPO inspection and the subsequent 3 "service visits' I had had up to then had missed these problems. $tealer could not answer those questions with anything except offer to make things good for free.

Sway bar link is causing the noise..I'd get a second opinion on the axels....
