This seems quite unreasonable and excessive to replace an axle that is in perfect operating condition when the only issue is with a rubber boot (seal) that is leaking fluid.
I bought this Titan at tri-state Nissan in winchester, va. My brake rotor were completely rusted due to bad metal used - I had to replace them at 30,000 miles.
