Default Something wrong with car

Somethings wrong with my car. On my front right wheel, it's making squeeking noise when the car is moving. Also, the car shakes at fast speeds and stops. I know it's now the brakes. When I took off the wheel today there was thick green grease everywhere. I don't know much about cars so I can't really decribe the problem, but there is definitely a tear on a rubber piece behind the brake. It seems to be coming out of there. Sorry I can't explain it any further, but does anybody have any idea what it is or had a similar problem? I just want to know what it is before I bring it to the shop and how much I should be expecting to pay. Thanks for any info.

I think it could be a cv boot or axle...i don't know.

definatley the cv boot......had it happen twice on both sides ...inner and outter, on both sides on my 94 LS i had...i think i was quoted for like 250 at the acura dealership for just one side.....but i ended up doing them with a friend....and labor was free .... the cv boot was just 40-50 bux for one axle...

hope it all works out
