I have to agree with Paul 100% on one thing: the job is a pain for the first-timer. It may well be worthwhile to pay somebody to do it, unless you're really prepared to do battle with your car. I don't know if the price is fair, but that can easily be resolved by calling a few other shops and asking what they would charge for the same work. *I* would do this job myself, but then again I have all the tools and experience necessary to pull it off.
It's rare for me to tell somebody not to do a car repair themselves, but I'm going to make a qualified statement on this case: If you are not *certain* that you have all the tools you need to do this job safely (or can afford to buy them), and if you are not *certain* that you can handle any problems that come up (think "rusted or stuck fastener", or bolts that require a great degree of leverage/strength to remove), then pay someone to do this for you. This particular job goes above and beyond the level of normal maintenance. On the other hand, if you have mechanical aptitude and a familiarity with working on vehicles and just haven't tackled this particular task, then have at it! It's relatively straightforward. As far as the car needing axles: I would tend to believe that it does, if a competent mechanic has inspected it and said so. This is not an uncommon wear item on a four or five year old car, which is why they're so readily and inexpensively available at everyday consumer retail auto parts stores.
