was thinking the same thing stone.. a $10 part to protect a $1,000 repair..
I'm about to hit 90k miles, so will justify it as "90k maintenance". Will have to wait for the funds to come in, but will most likely replace with new axles and everything all at once. I'm thinking this is the reason for my "squeaking" sound in the rear that I've been hearing for a while... most likely there's no grease left at all, and to be honest, I've probably damaged some stuff as I've been driving with it like that for a while (haven't looked under for a while).
They should design a boot that can be slipped around the axle and then sealed some how. The expense in this repair is the labor to take everything apart and reinstall...
