I've just been given an estimate of 60 pounds sterling/ side for rear
bearings on a 1999 A4 Avant, so I would say that even allowing for higher
labour rates in the US, that $700 dollars was rather high. The man I spoke
to gave an estimate of around 1 hour for the job/ side. Looking at the
relevant maintenance manual, and assuming that I've identified the hub
assembly correctly it looks a very straightforward job (on 1999 Avant - not
sure about your model).
The garage I approached was an independent, not a dealer.
Hope this helps with your decision.
