CV joints?? I'm not really sure how long they last on a 4th gen, but on a 2nd gen my friend needed them at 107k.

Lift the car up on jackstands, and then rotate the tire while looking at a black rubber sleeve attached to the back of it. You are looking for any rips in that. If there are get it fixed soon, if you don't it could be a MUCH bigger problem later (yes, even a week is too long).
