Are you going to pull the drive and half shafts yourself? If you have them out, most shops around here charge $10 per joint. If you don't have the tools to change them definitely worth the money. If they are all in the car, I would have no idea.

This should give you a ballpark figure if the transmission shop knows their vettes. I had the 4 halfshaft joints done this spring. Cost me $285 (Cdn) including the price of the U-Joints. Their parts price on the Spicer U-joints was $49 (Cdn) each. Obviously less in US dollars and factor in the 2 extras you are doing.

usually those guys like to put their own u-joints in - just in case there is something bad with yours and they have to warranty something. The shop that I use here in MS did mine for $45 a shaft ($135 total) but I took them the shafts and they supplied the bearings. I think they told me that it would run $400 or so if they had to remove them and re-install.
