Default need help bad

ok here is the prob. A while ago I starting hearing noises from the right side of the car nere the wheel. Now i know what i have to replace my right hand cv joint already cause it makes a clicking noise whnever I turn towards the right, so thats that. Someone told me that my tie rod ends and upper and lower ball joints are shot and i might have to replace them redo them whatever.
Now the noise that i am hearing is a high pitched screaching noise and it is horrible, it does when i turn either directiion and sometimes when I am about to accelarate from a dead stop also only on the right ahnd side when the car is in park i can push the car up and down and i hear the high pitch screach noise. this mostly accurs when it is really cold outside. Cause i took my baby out today and it wasnt cold it was rainy and i heard nothing not a dam peep. So what the hell could be the dam prob, I come do this forum cause you guys are good and have helped me with little probs before. this doesnt seem like a little prob so I was wondering if i can get some help from you guys before i might have to dishout the heavy money or do it myself with some of my boys.
:ugh: please help me guys please

if you have a bad ball joints, DO NOT drive in the rain. water can get in the busted joint and cause it to seperate ... aka your wheel will come off.

i've had a problem like that with my old car. Whenever i turned left i heard clicking sound and it did turn out to be the cv boot ripped and the lubricatoin grease leaked out. I believe it was about 250 parts and labor to get fixed. If u caught the problem early u could have been able to get away with replacing the just the boot. Dirt will get inside the boot and eventually contaminate the joint and it'll wear out and break. If the lubrication is gritty it's contaminated and they have to dissasemble the joint to get the dirt out or replace it if it needs to be. But the longer u drive it the more crap u'll get in it..
I get it fixed as soon as i can if i were you. Good luck!
