I would check with whomever is going to do the work first and see if they will allow you to bring your own parts. Some shops do not allow it.

Does anybody know any shop would be able to change the axles for a relatively lower cost near Albany,or Johnstown? 12095...
Please help...I have no idea where I should go..

TimChan

OK, I understand, hope to see the sun tomorrow..

TimChan

I see, how many axles did you rebuild? How much did it cost?
How long time did it take to take care of everything?
Thanks :-)

Okay thanks, I'll go there and have a ask on Tuesday.
Thanks again for helping me a lot, I appreciate it :-)

Sorry, am I going to ask the mechanic if they could change the front axles for mercedes?
Or shall I have them look at and estimate the car first?

I tried to drive it today, the clicking sound in the front is becoming loud and its annoying.
I wonder will it die if I try to drive to school around 5miles from home..

I have a very similar issue after having a indy replace both inner boots on my 2005 C240.

Could it be a reinstall error?
