2007 Pontiac G5 Drive Shaft?

I have a '07 Pontiac G5 GT. When I am making a left hand turn (tight turns) it seems like there is a 'grinding' noise coming from the passenger front wheel. At first I thought it was the bearings, but it's fine through all other turns along with straight driving. So I am guessing that it is the CV joints on that side. I did some research and it would make sense to replace the drive axle shaft which would have new CV joints in it. Does this sound about right? I typically do my own repairs and also have a Haynes manual so I figured this would be a job I could do at home, any input? Is there anyway of telling if that would be the proper side before ordering the part? What other issues could cause this?
