Move to SC (unless you are a Yankee). Our gas taxes are lowest in the

Don't forget that those fuel taxes pay for the highways and bridges,

Just like Mercedes rear axles, front wheel drive CV joints usually don't go bad
until the boot fails, which is easy to see.
If you can produce knocking noise in a tight turn (at wheel lock, try forward
and reverse gears), that is a sure sign of a bad axle.

A bad axle will not show looseness, that has to be either a wheel

will NOT move) or a bad ball joint.
I'd vote for a wheel bearing. If they are the standard front wheel
