1990 Nissan Sentra mileage: 130,000. My Nissan Sentra has an oil leak. In addition, the area around the right-front wheel is greasy. I had it checked and was told that both front axle shafts needed to be replaced, and the price quoted was around $500. Could you please tell me if such diagnosis and price sound reasonable? Also, I am wondering if I could buy some used axle shafts from junk dealer and request the repair shop to put them on to save cost. Do you think it would be reasonable to request so? Thanks for your help!

From what you describe, the C-V boot on the front axle has failed. The C.V. Joint may be okay and all that needs to be done is to replace the C-V boots. Parts and labor costs should be approximately $150.00. We do not recommend used parts because of the uncertainty of quality.
