Mitch is right Carlito.
You have a busted CV joint on one or both sides. Get this fixed pronto. Phils offer is a good price.
Pity your mechanic did not put the car on the ramp and check for damaged joints / loose axels, that would be the obvious way, and would only take 5 minutes. You need to do this to see which CV is broken. Maybe the left and right are the same [Phil??], but in most cars they are unequal lengths, so are not interchangeable.
