If you are talking about just the boot, and not the whole CV Joint (Axle), then no it's not that expensive. The boot itself should be under $50 depending on your make and model of vehicle, and the labor, even at a dealership should not be all that bad. You can call your local dealership and get a price over the phone. Now if you need the whole thing, CV Joint, that can be expensive depending a lot on the vehicle. I had a Z-71 Silverado and the dealership wanted almost $1000.00 to replace the CV joint on it. After doing a little research I found out that most of the money for the repair was for the part itself. So I bought an aftermarket CV joint from Carquest for under $100.00 and had the dealership install it using my part from Carquest. The total bill was under $200.00. Hope this helps.
