Default If your talking about a front shaft...

And your replacing the whole shaft and not just the CV joint, about 3 hrs.

I think it would be easier to replace the whole shaft instead of just the joint but a dit more expensive.

Default I see you've had the clicking mod yourself. How much will the shaft cost?

Gonna call the dealer on Monday for prices, but I hope to do this one myself.

Default You can do it yourself...

The whole shaft will run you about 3-400 bucks. I havent priced one yet but Id say a new or remanufactured CV joint will be under a hundred bucks for this car.
