It would be to your advantage to purchase a Haynes Manual specific to your car. They can be purchased at most parts stores.
For my 94 Geo Prizm it's a 30mm.
Parts will cost about $100-$150 US and labor will be another 100-150 US.
I would suggest have it checked with a "trusted mechanic".,but I would wildly guess it could be your CV-Boots worn out-or just need to replace the driving axle- which the noise coming from...hope this help!!
don't replace the joint. replace the axle
I just had the shop do the work. It was about 200 dollars for the parts and labor, and it only took like 45 minutes. Just save yourself the frustration and have a shop do it.
To change the CV boot on a Geo Storm, first, safely lift the vehicle and remove the wheel to access the CV axle. Next, detach the axle from the hub and remove the old CV boot, ensuring to clean off any grease. Slide the new boot onto the axle, apply grease to the joint, and secure the boot with clamps. Finally, reassemble the axle to the hub, reinstall the wheel, and lower the vehicle.
A CV boot is found on the axle of a vehicle. To replace the outer boot remove the axle bolt and pull the boot off. The inner boot requires removal of the whole axle.

Much better to replace the whole axle, look at www.happywrenching.com for a guide on how to replace an axle in a Honda Odyssey
The cost to replace a CV axle in a Geo Tracker typically ranges from $150 to $300 for parts and labor. The price can vary based on the mechanic's labor rates and whether you choose aftermarket or OEM parts. Additional costs may arise if other related components need repair or if the vehicle requires specialized services. Always get a detailed quote before proceeding with the repair.
The 2000 Ram had u joints, not cv joints at the front axle.
It does have CV joints but, it is best to just swap out the complete axle assembly than to replace only the CV joint. You will spend much time and almost as much money trying to replace the CV joint than to just purchase a reconditioned axle assembly and swap it.
