CV joints are like U joints- they are part of the drive shaft/axle.. and much like U-joints, they are easier to replace than to repair. they are usually only like 50-60 bucks from parts stores.

You have to remove the wheel, and disconnect the lower ball joint in order to replace an axle. not very hard..but possibly confusing if you have no mechanical experience.
