Anywhere from 80k-120k, depending on how bad your boots look and how dry
your joints sound when you move the axle in and out.

Basically, if you are going through the trouble of pulling an axle to clean
and re-grease joints, then replace the boots, and put the axles on the
other side. Seems like the last time I had this done it ran about $120, and
I supplied the 4 boots and grease from Bus Depot for (something like) $35.
