    last time i checked they were about $150 each??? i may be wrong its been a while...
    u know your CV is stuffed if u turn it on full lock and u hear a clunking sound, it may be something else?

    front left when braking? doesnt sound like a cv...
    jack it up n pull the wheel off n look for signs of rubbing on the inners or strut.
    did they do a wheel alignment???prolly forked it up. Take it back to the place that fitted them if u cant see anything untoward.
    there is usually no mistaking a screwed CV sound...they dont screech from what ive whitnessed, lol...
    Cheers, Benny

    Or back that old problem of something worn in your suspension that you have had for months. Sounds dangerous!

    Spend your money in the right way mate. Take it to a suspension specialist, or to Mullers. You will pay a bit, but at least you will spend your money on the right thing, rather than on stuff that aint broke.
