    If it's only happening when turning its highly unlikely it's the inner joint.

    Please use proper punctuation. It makes it easier for everyone else.

    On topic, yes it sounds like the CV joint.
    A local mechanic will inspect it and give you a quote. Probably around 150 with labour, give or take.

    This time next year I'll have a jag!:-) At the moment an older run of the mill car,probably got screwed on the price of the c.v. joints to be fair.
