Going rate for a CV Joint/Drive shaft

KENHAYES247 · 21st March 2017, 10:01

Hello one and all,

So on a different thread i originally asked a question about a chronic vibration through the car at speeds of 30mph upwards after recently changing the shocks/springs and top mount assembly.

Further investigation has revealed that the drive shaft on the drivers side has excessive play in the joint where the first boot cover is.

Question 1 - On average how much would a UK garage charge to do the work?

Question 2 - Should i have both sides done?

I ask because in Germany its pretty expensive for parts and labour, i would do the work myself but having just done the suspension etc i really don't want to spend more time under the car.
