Replacing Axle and Hub Bearings
About a year ago, I noticed a vibration/sound coming from my axle when turning. After going to several dealerships and told a bunch of shit initially I find out that I have 2 CV boots that are shredded. I wanted to fix them earlier on, but I had no time, as well as my extended warranty didnt cover it. They assured me that I should just replace it down the line when the axle starts becoming worse and just lube it until then.
Now, i not only have to replace both axles, I also have to replace the hub bearings on both sides. Total of $2800! Dealership is crazy. Just curious if anyone has had similar issues and if someone knows where I can get the parts for cheap?
My idea now is to replace the axles from my local mechanic and then go to the dealership and try and claim the bearings. Hopefully this would be the cheapest and best option I have and it goes smoothly.
