My regular mechanic is recommending a dealer replacement part instead of

This also worries me... $70-100 for labor, the thing unbolts, even with frozen bolts all of about a 20-30 minute job. Put it on the lift, undo the bolts (I believe there are 6 of them), if they won't come off, torch them, then bolt the new one in.
