Thats awfully quick...how many miles on the car? What kind of driving? Highway, in town? 4x4? (lol). 1500 doesnt sound too bad, but id shop around.

Those parts definitely wear out over time, in 4 years is usual I would say. Your route must be bumpy! Either that or you beat that poor pony, lol. Seems about fair for $1300 to $1500.
