You need a new axle. It sounds like your boot has been torn for a while now. I would get it replaced if your getting a grinding now.

um... yeah, you should probably get the cv joints checked out when you hear that noise, now you've learned a lesson, this process is much cheaper than an axle. live and learn... when you hear a noise that sounds like it definitely shouldn't be there, go get it checked...

fyi, i found this info on them: http://www.alldata.com/techtips/2003/20030714c.html

DARHAW-MAX

$79.00 for new axle with $59.00 plus core charge. Replace axle (about an hour or so). Take old axle to reclaim core charge. While you are there, make sure you have someone inspect the passenger side also.
