CV joints/Half Shafts

Anyone ever have to change theirs out? One of my rear CVs is clicking pretty consistently now when driving and curious if others have done this repair and what the relative cost was. Anyone know of the right P/N (2003 E55)? Only one CV has been making all the noise though I might do both. Thanks!

Thanks, my Indy mentioned it was a dealer only item and the whole axle assy had to be replaced. Quoted price on the part of $800.

early 03s have different axles than later models. If you want a cheap fix call a junkyard like Potomac German and get a used one
