One of the CV axles needs to be replaced.

Well you have to take your brake caliper off and undo you upper ball joint so it tilts out far enough so you can push the cv axle out of the hub. I forgot if ya have to remove the rotor or not but you will need a big socket for the cv axle nut i know for sure and possibly a hammer and some spray penetrant, needle nose pliers, another socket n a torx bitor allen wrenchi believe for the caliper bolts.
