I am assuming it is the CV Joint, but I'm not sure if it's the whole axel or just the Joint and/or Boot. I can feel the "Clunk" on the floorboard. Initially I thought it might be the clutch, but it only happens while turning left. I have priced Whole kits vs Joints/Boots between $55 - 65 each.

What would labor typically cost for each type of replacement Full and Joints/Boots?

Hi there,

This will probably be the CV, I would consider getting a complete change over shaft, as getting the ends of can often take ages and special shaped drifts are often required, price the entire shaft it should only take about 3/4 Hr to fit.
