CV joint change

You will need to block it up,you can do this with a regular jack,but use block to secure the car,remove tire,then it will take a 1"1/4 socket to break the axel bolt loose,then remove brake caliper,remove rotor,undo bottom strut bolt,s to drop a frame,the axel will come out then,replace in reverse.

but I already jacked up the car put it on jackstands and put it in gear the right wheel turn forward and backward but the left on only turns if I hit it toward the engine and even that is only for a few seconds

but I want to find out if it is the CV joint b4 I tear the car apart

but I live in Wi and it worked fine yesterday when I went to look at it and I did donut both directions a when I was trying to go back into the drive way it went out again

it popped and then wouldn't turn right but it has stopped moving in the past week while I was driving it

thanx
