Check your cv boots. Replace them if torn before your axles go

Yeah definitely sounds like cv. If it is go ahead and take care of it, if not you'll mess up the axle too. Learned from experience...

I got mine done in a shop and i think it was about 1 hour each, so what ever labor charge is for 2 hours in your area, in canada it's about $170 think mine were both replaced for about $300-350 labour and parts. And don't forget that's canadian dollars. so it's about 290 US$

With a lifetime warranty . If your car turns by itself you might have some alignment issues as well.

You can change them yourself but you'll need an axle nut and some elbow (like a long breaker bar or an impact) if you don't have the proper tools don't waste your time. But the money you spend on labor you could put toward buying the tools and doing it yourself and in the future you'll have the tools. That's a better investment IMO.
