pop into any decent suspension mob, most are happy to have a quick look for nothing, but you are in western aus and ive heard that all mechanics and auto workers down there are tight arss when it comes to pricing / checks

look at the CV joint, usally the rubber boot splits, flinging out all the grease, and causing extra ware n tear on the joint.

it is easy to change, it is 2 bolts to remove after you take the rim off. if it is wirring, chick your pws fluid first. a cv will normally clunk (makes like a click clock click clock sound) or will make a shudder. also as said check the boots
