Default DV Boot, What does it cost to replace?

My friend at a dealership was rotating my tires and he mentioned that my DV boot was cracked and I should get it replaced so my axle doesnt freeze up. Anyone done this before and know how much Audi would charge for it? Thanks!

Default how many miles on that axle? after the **** I went through with mine I will never do a boot again

replacing the axle leaves you with the following.

About the same amount of labor to change a boot.

if DIY its a lot easier than messing with all the grease and ****.

Just my two cents
