It's pretty simple really. Separate the ball joint, I usually use a fork and an air hammer. Then remove the sway bar end link. Then two bolts in the bushings and you're done.

Nope, probably not. Sounds like a CV axle/joint.

Oh yeah now that I think about it, it does sound more like a bearing than an axle.
