it's 96 es300.

i got blown cv joint in right side.

do you know any online part that sells this at great price?

tried ebay but only from 97.

is it hard to change this part?

I heard it was easy to change the part. And the cost of the part isn't that bad. Its only $100 cnd, which is probably like $60 US. Installation is what costs the most. I do not recommend doing it yourself if you have no background in automotive mechanics.

I did one for a 94 Camry a while back(same as the ES), and I hated it, vowed never to do it again. My 92 right axle is blown, and I am going to just pay someone to do it.

I concur on the price, you should be able to get a rebuilt axle for around $60 ~70 us. The issue is installing it, generally it really helps to have a good impact wrench to remove the center axle nut, (sometimes it is the only way). Then if the axle sticks in the wheel hub you would need a good puller, (or some very careful raps with a hammer). Then most of the times the axle can be easily poped out of the trans (of course sometimes you need a slide hammer to get a stuborn one out). The upshot is, yes 9 out of 10 times, a person with a decent toolbox can do it in their garage (if they have mechanical background). it's that tenth time that can really ruin the afternoon. I have seen axles that have just plain refused to come out of the trans no matter what we did (with the car on a lift).

Ps if it is the outer joint, and the axle doesn't want to come out of the trans. You could pop off the c clip, and slide the outer joint off, slide the new joint and clip back on. Not the best way, but in a pinch it will get you back on the road without breaking you bank account.

Shop told me they will do $300 installed.

is there any online place to get cv joint for 96?

They said they will do it for $100 if I bring the part.

$300 bucks installed is A LOT. you should be getting it done for ~$150 to $200 MAX installed.

Call around is my best advice.. pep boys? (i don't know if they sell those there, we don't have those in Canada...)
