Is your quote fair?
A quote between $265 and $794 is inside the band where half of all Jeep Grand Cherokee CV axle replacements landed. Below it is not automatically a bargain (remanufactured axle on a front-wheel-drive car); above it is not automatically gouging (OEM axle, four-wheel-drive front axle with hub work, both sides done) — but both ends deserve a question.
What moves the price
New vs. remanufactured — reman axles are common and much cheaper; quality varies.
Layout — 4WD trucks and AWD cars take longer than a simple front-drive axle.
Seal and fluid — a torn boot that ran dry often means a new seal and fresh gear oil too.
