I'm currently fixing this same problem. the shop i went to wanted 1800 to buy the oem from the local lexus dealership. i only need the front drive shaft. apparently it is a 2 piece section a front and a back that is actually 2 parts. anyways. i found the front drive on ebay that is remanufactured and they even added grease port. its 375.00 but if you send your old part back (free shipping) they will refund you 100.00. so 275. the shop said its a pretty easy job so it will run about 175.00 for labor. after all the dust settles it will run me 450.00
