I also was also told that the driver's side axle job is easy, while the passenger's side is a big headache. So I am in a bit of a dilemma. I would have to do all the work at a friend's house since I live in an apartment but I don't know if this is a job I really have the time/resources to take on. Can you please give me some more input as to whether or not I should attempt to tackle a job like this? I go to school full time and work as well so I dont have a lot of free time and I can't go with a car. Thanks.
Well the job is not that hard but since is ur first time it will take u over 1hr most likely. In my opinion the best place to buy the axle would be autozone is going to be cheaper and get it with lifetime warranty, either way is going to be cheaper than the dealer plus the dealer dont offer lifetime warranty. also like they said above, you will get a refund when u bring back the old one.
