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.

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 :-)

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?
