The part itself is listed at around $700.

My theory is we humans have a herding mentality left over from our millions of years of evolution.

I was curious how much that lower back piece cost. Adjuster hasn’t made it out to look at it just yet. See how it goes. Driving a Nissan Murano for the time being. Actually isn’t too bad, could have been some small compact car

Replacing one is pretty simple, but there is no need to get your hands dirty if you don't have to.

It's REALLY simple especially if you're just swapping it with another stock one. Takes about 10-15 minutes to do the job.

Said they had to replace something in there. Don’t remember what he called it. Could have been a baffle.

Next time I see him at the gym I’ll ask again
