That doesn't sound too bad. I had the same work done and it came in about $3300. Go drive it now.

Some pictures of ims. Looks to be in relatively good shape. No wobble and bearings while scored a little seem to be ok. 61k miles

I know I will sleep better however knowing I replaced.

My local indy explained the concept of "Porsche Units" to me. $1,000 == 1 Porsche Unit.

Ain't that the truth. I'll be picking my car up on Saturday after a quick little 2-unit trip to the doctor :-)
