Actually, that's only if you're lucky! The one I have on for about 1 year collapsed on me with no warning. Then the replacement collapsed in about 3 months. I ended up getting brand new spindle assy on both sides. It's about $165.40 a piece, but I think it's the best way to go. I wouldn't really know about labor because I did almost everything mechanical myself.

Actually, you are absolutly right. The bearings will eventually sieze and bring extreme heat to all surrounding parts. Not good for the cv boot.
