OK, you say it won't run. Does it START? Does the tranny shift?
Aftermarket rebuilt axles for this are $50 if you can fanagle a discount,
$69 if you can't. It takes all of 15-25 mins to replace the axles. The
person who quoted you $600 is obviously an opportunist! Find another
mechanic. As for your brakes...???
At $600, he'd BETTER be useing brand-new Chrysler axles! But I'd bet not...
Does he have a boat anywhere?
