I paid I believe 175$ to replace each of my outers, about 2 months apart.

Then how about a complete axle? $125 for a new one and it's easier and cleaner than doing a boot.

That is what I did personally on my sled. The extra cost was worth the lack of grease.

Neil @ 82 Autowerks in Reading area would probably beat the quote you got.

Definitely worth the cost and time to just do the whole axle.
