How much does it cost to replace a CV axle in San Diego, CA?

CV axle replacement in San Diego, CA typically costs $320–$540 for one side. The classic sign is clicking on turns. This is the one-side price — both sides is a different job, not twice this price by assumption.

Likely causes

• Torn boot — A split boot leaks grease and lets grit in; the joint wears fast after that.
• Worn joint — Clicking on turns is the worn joint itself.

What you can check yourself

• Listen on turns: clicking that tracks steering angle points at a CV joint.
• Look for grease sprayed inside the wheel — a torn boot's calling card.
• Ask whether the quote is one side or both, and whether it includes alignment.
