I've never replaced one before so more than likely I will take it to a shop. The problem is finding a decent shop who doesn't over charge me.

I would but don't have time and environment to work on it. I think I will have a local shop replace a left axle for around $440. This is the lowest quote I've got after calling a dozen places this morning.

$404 for a pair is an excellent deal! Too bad I can't find a local shop like that here.

You could also buy the parts online and just have an indy do the labor. Might save a few bucks.

Got my car serviced at a local bmw/mini specialist shop, I thought I only needed front driver side cv boot replaced but found that the passenger side boot was also torn and a small oil leak detected. I wasn't too happy with the $$ but the good thing is that it's running good.
