The installation came out very clean looking. This was done on both drives and the cost was $2,100.00 My mechanic told me that he gave me a 15% discount on parts and labor. I have nothing to compare this to. I don't know if that was a good price or not. The shop labor rate is normally $100.00 per hour. I know that they are expensive, but they do good work.

What have others paid for a similar repair?

The shafts, part number 98230A1 cost $291.60 each, that seemed like a lot of money, but again I have nothing to compare it to.
