·I was told I need to replace the right front axel boot because it is
leaking. The Toyota dealer will replace it for $325. Big O Tire will
replace it for $175 using Toyota parts.My main mechanic will not
replace the axel boot alone (they state once it leaks the axel is
impossible to clean out and needs replacing). They will replace the
entire axel for $300. (toyota parts). (It will take them a week to get
to it though)
I have a 94 Camry with 137K miles on it. It is starting to nickle and
dime me but it runs great and I do not want to incur new car payments
now. Which is the best option to go with? Is my main mechanic telling
me the truth? If so, why isn't it standard practice to just replace the
axel instead of the axel boot alone?
Thanks in advance for all advice.
