I have the same problem.
A shop I go to quoted me 280 for a new set with labor. And Idk if that's about right. Since they do need to take off the exhaust and what not.

Wait, is 280 including the bushing part?
I got quoted 300 labor plus bushings, god damn, its really annoying man. As soon as I fix one problem I find out another. especially during the beginning of the college semester when I have to pay tuition

The bushings keep your diff from wobbling around. Its more probable that the front 2 bushings are still fine. Don't expect the labor to be very cheap since the rear bushing can't be pressed out as easily as the rest.

Rear Differential Kit - WHITELINE

$99 for bushings and $200 for labor. Labor is 2-3 hours. You have to remove the differential, cut out the old bushing, and install the new one. The front diff ones can just be pounded/pressed out.

You can probably drive around on the rear bushing being bad for a while - it wont be too critical, but should be replaced when you can.

I highly recommend all of the WHITELINE bushings. I sell them only because I use them and love them. Designed very well.

i happened to get mine for cheap from a member.
If you have moderate skills on working on your vehicle, DIY
I read it would take a whole day and blah blah blah.
You just need a drill with a couple bits and a sawz all with a metal blade
took me about 3 hours in my driveway
