Thanks for the replies so far guys.
I looked at the cv boot and it is seperated and there is grease all over it. But when i push down on that side of the car it sounds like a clunk noise so i think that the shock may be an issue as well. Is the problem with the cv boot major?.. should I not drive until it is fixed. My car is a daily driver and is needed. How much do you think it will cost to repair?.
