is $125 a good price for a replaced front u joint parts and labor.

 

yeah, but i bought my u joints for 45 bucks, and had a shop do them for 50. not too much over it. if its just one joint, i am not sure its good deal.

 

You can get a ujoint for $25 at any auto parts store. Take of the shaft, and go to Midas or pep boys. They both have done it for me for $20 labor.

 

why not buy the u joints and replace them yourself ????

 

I attempted to get the u-joints off myself. couldn't do it, they are pressed in too good. the shop i took them to had a heck of a time! Mine cost me $35 for the u-joint and $10 labor. Just take the shaft out and bring it in, the shaft is VERY EASY to get off. you will save yourself a good amount of $

 

i've only ever been defeated by one u-joint. that was on a dodge 2500, and i ended up having to cut it out with oxy/set torch. cut it in half, and out it comes!

otherwise, get a sturdy bench, vice, large hammer, and some sockets and pound it out!

 

I HATE REPLACING U-JOINTS!!!
i would rather do an engine swap over a single u-joint.
(in the middle of replacing the u-joints on the front shaft, it sucks)

It's not hard, just do it yourself.. Save some money.

 

spend 22 dollars (source is 4wheel supply) and do it your self but if you want a shop to do it the price seems about average
