I managed to hole my inner CV boot on mine, rather than fany around with grease etc. I just fitted a visually good used original entire drive shaft of ebay.

CV joints tend to make more of a clicking sound than whirring to be honest, and on full lock in either direction. Could be the inner joint I suppose, gearboxes make whirring noises.

yeah i was always told clicking or knocking from cvs, but this is definately the drivers wheel only, it makes the sort of sound that you would get from a warped disc if it was dragging on the brake pad as the bent part passes over it, so its not a constant noise its something thats doing a circle and only making a noise at say the top of its turn if that makes sense, but its only on left turns when the weight is put on to the drivers side at slow speeds, i havent noticed any major vibrations when braking, so maybe driveshaft or a sticking caliper
