    250-400 is the common range depending where you live or what shop does it.

    yeah... the smaller stuff like 8.6... 300-400 depending on miles.. its a bit more work when you change every bearing and seal...

    When i was lookin around, i was told that it was 3-4 labor hours. Basing that on shop rates og 65-90 per hour. If you get a outrageous quote, they are probably trying to get you out of there because they are unsure.

    I stopped at 4 shops, only 1 was willing to consider doing it. WTF is with PA? lol

    $350 in the car. $300 out of car or for a 9" or 55 chevy. Here in CT.

    You might have a hard time getting a shop to put in parts you didn't buy from them. After all you can't bring your own steak to a steak house and have them cook it for you.
