hehe good ol' cv joints.. well for one that sounds rediculous.. i doubt you would have to get the whole joint replaced... like someone else said there might just be a crack in one of the boots, which is better cause then all you would have to do would be to replace that boot. im not sure on the cost of exactly how it would be done, but im sure you can do it yourself of with the help of a friend. but for some funny info... my car before this one was this 87 olds cutlas ciera with well lots of mile on it and i drove it around for like 1yr and a half with a broken boot and also with the clanking of a failing cv joint (didnt know what it was in the beginning) i drove a ton with it clanking and luckly i was ok.. but i would say that if it isnt clanking when you turn you should be ok and might as well inspect them yourself to see if the boot is just broken.. i think you can get a kit from most auto parts stores.
