1995 Volvo 850 CV Joint Replacement

Let me first tell you this, yes your cv joints are bad, but it will mostlikely be cheaper to replace the whole shaft than it will just replacing the joint, obviously because there is more entailed int removing the cv joints, to do the shaft. Labor is only about an hour for one side, so what ever the shop charges an hour, plus the price of the part, I recommend just going to a regular shop, not a dealer, you will save a significant amount of money, the dealers like to find other things that dont pertain to the problem at hand, and they charge much more for their hourly rate
