not true, im having trouble finding my bill but it wasnt nearly that much when mine was done. It was around 100 bucks, about 50 for parts 45 for labor. you can get exact oem endlinks if you search around for like 7 bucks a set, i was so ****ing stupid to go through the dealer, its a pretty easy job but i lack time and the jacks to do it, search around or get some quotes
