Default Replacing CV joints

I started to get a clicking sound when I make a turn and I found out that I have to replace the cv joints to fix the problem. How should I go about doing this... Should I replace all of the cv joints?Aren't there two on each axle? And where is the best place to buy the cv joints for a fair price?

just replace the axle. I fixed mine for under 100$. When you get the old one out be sure to make sure that the axle flange is torqued and tight, its just one bolt in the middle of the plate.

You can actually just buy new boot kids for $15 each and replace the boots and the grease. Mine were clicking and I just packed them with new greast and put on the new boots.

Everyone I talked to said that the factory CV joint was bullet proof and not to change them with an aftermarket axel or CV joint.
