Front Left U-Joint?

[whatproblems]

2001 Chevy Prizm/2001 Toyota Corolla

the front left driveshaft is leaking some grease

my dad said it looks like the u-joint is going and needs to be replaced.

will the car need the whole front-left shaft replaced, or can they just do the U-joint?

and does anyone know about how much this will cost?

i need this done soon cuz it isn't too great driving it around like that

first off tell your dad i said he's a moron... fwd car don't have u joints the have cv joints. the whole axle needs to be raplaced to do it right and its about $65 if you do it yourself. and btw u joints are attatched to the drive shaft on rwd cars

he's never owned a front wheel drive car, so at least he knew somewhat of whats going on..

do you have any clue how much the labor on something like this would be?

don't mind him. online forums are commonly filled with trash talking teens who think they're the shit.
just call up your local auto shop and ask them how much they'd charge on labor to replace your cv joint. it's not a difficult process, so it shouldn't be too much.

yeah because it can depend on the year and make, Here they look it up in a book and give you the price that way.
