Thread: Air Locker Shock

Expensive bearings! - although I suppose that includes labour.

John

When my rear air locker was installed they replaced the diff bearings at the same time. That was $75 I think. So even 4x $75 is nothing like $950

Yeah but if the diff is already out how much labour is involved?

I would be seriously querying that price.

Will do Tony , will phone at 0800hr and ask him for a breakdown in cost

Diff bearings and pinion bearings noisy says mechanic
"OH" says me how much to fix,
$950
Knee jerk was grease em up and whack em back....... sensible side said spend 3k on airlockers $1200 on axxles mights awell finish the job properly with $950 on new diff bearings......

I had the same problem with my car. And it's only two years old . Anyway the bearings weren't anywhere near that much but I can't remember exactly now. A couple of hundred inc labour if I remember. As said, they were already there doing the locker.
