Sounds about right $-wise for MRC replacements.

Cheaper at rockauto.com. They are an easy DIY or any competent shop can replace.

Are you sure they need to be replaced? I ask because a certain amount of dampness is normal, and some disreputable shops will tell you they need to be replaced when they do not.

I just bought one off Rock Auto for under $500. These are easy peasy to do. If you have a jack, jackstand and a ratchet you can do these for half what the dealer wants..
