I havnt had it checked out yet but from the clicking coming from the driverside wheel when i turn is telling me that the cv joint is shot.

How long should the replacement of one or both of these axles take in labor?

If one is bad, should i replace the other?

Is there anything else i should know about this repair? like, what other problems could this have caused. Its been clicking for about a month now while i saved the money to fix it.

a cv joint shouldnt be replaced as the labor for that is a longer job, and costs more. it is best to have a whole new drive shaft put in on that side, it will take 1 hour of labor at the most, and a new shaft is from 60-90 dependable where you got it.

i wouldnt replace the other one because chances are this one got ripped from a stone thrown up or it just wore out and leaked out the grease causing moisture to get in, thus ruining the joint.
