CV joint/axle replacement, I used the search i swear to god Options

alright i used the search and it came back with nothing so here it goes.
my passenger side started clicking from there im assuming thats what it is. ive got almost exactly 140k is the timeline correct?

do i have to replace these in pairs? i have heard mixed reviews

when i brake the popping (think of your knee popping really hard) stops and it goes away when i accelerate. it is the worst under 30 mph, i dont know if thats because its quieter and i can hear it more and/or if it is because the popping is farther apart and so its more pronounced.

i have heard of buying "half axles" and also, how much time do i have? obviously im going to try to replace asap, but gotta get the money first.

thanks for the help

what prices are we talking for labor and parts? and can anyone in the dfw or surrounding area recommend good mechanics? i hate the chains (kwik kar, jiffy lube, etc.)

and does it really matter as far as replacing both or just one side?

edit* i went on yellowpages.com and got a list of places, can anyone in dfw recommend anyone in particular?
