Hi, What could that be? I've read that it can be CV axle, but which one? It doesn't make the noise when I turn left, only when I turn right. If it is a CV axle problem, how much should that cost to replace, and can I replace it myself or do I need to have it professionally done?

It does sound like the right CV axle is bad because it has to turn the most when in a right turn. Here is a generic guide on how to change out the CV axle with specific instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car:

Changed out the CV axles but now when we put the car in reverse to test drive, the car starts knocking and grinding and we have to put it back into park right away.
