Hi so i was at the dealership over the weekend and they told me that the CV boot was leaking they want like 720 dollars for that
the cv boot could just be replaced with a new aftermarket axle for probably half that price am i correct in what im thinking ?

they also told me the Dog Bone needs to be replaced i guess this is separate form the MOunt its not the entire engine mount am i correct in my thinking ?
or is that part of the engine mount itself.
they want 187.99 plus taxes and shop fees for that is that a good price for that ?

That is the Rear Engine Torque Strut Mount. Found out today our ES350 needs one too. I was replacing the thermostat when I noticed the rubber in the mount was split. Amazon has it for $35. Model DEA # A62060.

Replaced today. The center was completely sheared through. Replaced with a DEA model from Amazon, about $35.

How many miles?

173K and driven by the Mrs with a light foot. I replaced it after she made an errand and the strut was very hot, from engine heat. The round rubber cover on the engine side had hardened and broke off. It looks like that end of the strut is an insert but I could not find the part sold as an insert; had to buy the whole strut, which I did not find costly.
