Thank you so much. I'm taking it in to my mechanic on Monday. It's good to have an idea ahead of time.

Yes it is, especially for the ladies out there. Realoem.com has a great exploded view of the part and an idea for you of it's price. 31126769715 is the part number and I am sending the HTTP for the site as a PM to you.
