[QUOTE="Sluggie24, post: 15643759, member: 184003"] $1300 sounds very high to me. The chance that you actually needed axles is slim, though possible. If the bearings had cut into the axles you would have been hearing a bad bearing drone noise for a long time. (Months at least) $700-800 sounds high for just replacing all the bearings/seals in the rear. That's a 4 hr job tops and maybe $130 in parts/materials.(I think install kits are even available online with all the parts needed for less than $100) After having done dozens of rears on different vehicles my professional opinion is that you were ripped off. For $1300 you could have upgraded to 31 spline axles and carrier with all new bearings and seals at an honest shop. Doing a rear isn't all that hard/time consuming. You just need to know what you're doing and have the tools. [/QUOTE]
