I had my inner CV joint and axel on my passenger side replaced for abit under $200.. Not too sure whether you guys find that a good price but my mechanic charged me the least amount he could.. He's a family friend.

I'm in perth so i cant really recommend you to anyone.. Good luck!

Located in Newcastle NSW. I have heard stories of $500+ just for one. Would you say it can be replaced easily myself if i got the part. Or do i need tricky tools and such?

some times there easy, some times there a big pain in the ass, you just dont know what to expect when you go to do them.
