this sounds like a great thread to quote some horror stories of dealership prices. I went looking for the two bumper pads on the bumpers for genIII daks. Each pad is about 2 feet long, a simple piece of molded plastic.......$175 EACH, $350 bucks for both. I told him I could get a new bumper for less than that and he just kind of nodded his head.

BTW, sorry, I don't have a yoke for you.

My dad just replaced the u-joints on his '93 v6 5-speed 4x4's front driveshaft. The way I remember it he said he found a different u-joint that would work which was a lot less money than the insanely expensive "correct" part. Apparently the cross in his setup is longer on one axis than the other or something like that.
