Does it only happen at full lock? i.e. You can't turn the wheels any farther?

That depends on whether its just a replacement of the CV boots, or whether it has run dry and buggered the joint. I got a boot replaced on one a couple of months back for $60 (and I removed and replaced it myself). If the CV itself is buggered, it will cost quite a bit more than that

If the CV happens to be buggered, I have a spares that might suit.

basically, the shaft that drives the front wheels. Goes from the transmission (gearbox) to the back of the wheel hubs on the front wheels. Each shaft has a couple of universal joints that are packed with grease. The boots can split and if not repaired quick enough, all the grease comes out and can stuff the joints.
