Replacing the CV joints on a FWD Volvo is a doable task, but you need to follow the proper steps or you can damage the joint. In some cases the joint may be okay, but the boot around it can crack or leak grease. This can cause debris to enter the joint and then you're going to have problems.

I would recommend having a mechanic do this work if you have any doubts to your abilities. The joint can be expensive while as the boot is relatively cheap so make sure you determine the source of any problem before you spend money that you may not need to.
