    Argh, I can't win with my car!

    My right CV joint is leaking now. The boot is nice and greasy and
    splattered the wheel with it's goop. I've been quoted $240 for parts and
    labor per side, and he said the parts were $100. Does anyone know where I
    can get parts for less? I'd prefer to buy from fcpgroton.com, since I'm
    likely to buy rear shock mounts and an antenna mast from them, but I can't
    seem to find CV joint kits there. I've done a google search for "S70 CV
    joint" and didn't come up with an actual page with prices. I can't even
    find them on ipd for some reason. It's just not my day.

    Are the prices prices pretty fair and worth just letting my usual Volvo
    guy do it, or should I shop around?

    Try www.raxles.com New inner and outer joints on a used shaft, Amsoil
    grease in the joints, $145 per side. It depends on the miles on your
    car, and how long you've gone with the boot torn. If you've got high
    miles, just replace the whole shaft and be done with it. OTOH, a boot
    kit is about $25, but if you've been without grease long, or got dirt
    in the joint, it'll get noisy quick.
