Bad yoke and slip joint after alignment?

That’s why I’m asking. I’m sure the OP has turned down loads in the past because there would’ve been too much profit.

 

As you know, the dealer doesn't get those parts given to them by the manufacturer. The parts department has costs to cover too. 3 parts people and a warehouse manager probably cost the company at least $300k a year in wages alone.

 

They need to pass a law to limit how much these greedy parts places charge and we demand to know how they're making off their sales!!!!

It's the same nonsense everywhere it seems. People too weak to say no and begging the government to come in make laws that hurt the rest of us who can.

 

The manufacturers also set MSRP as well. Whether or not a dealer adheres to the recommended price is another thing. Usually regular customers get better pricing from my experience.

 

You call in "so benign" Wait until the driveline comes apart and REALLY shows you what it cost because it was"so benign".

 

Had mine done when I put in NEW R.Ends and axles was $1800.00 cheap compared to what can happen with a failure

 

I've found myself, indeed. Thanks for the clarification. You're getting screwed. A good driveline or spring shop could build you brand new ones from scratch for less than that. The yokes might be pricey but I still don't think it come up 5k all in. Call around to some driveline shops near you and ask how much for complete replacements. I highly recommend Point Spring if any are close to you.
