"why you gotta be so rude? dont' you know i'm human too?" -MAGIC a new AXLE about grand? you meant a new axle SEAL right? true both seals are 900. but the toyota dealer said they advise replacing both bearing hubs, brake shoes, drums (for contamination) and that's another 1k for that. so it's 2k...
