AND it's an dead axle!
when turning wheels at full angle, during accelering, heavy CLAC CLAC CLAC to the right side.
after lift the car, the both boots are dead, means no grease at all.
and the best, if u grab the axle, there's a lot of play.
i mean, you can move it! it's the tripod thing near the wheel hub.

and about my " clean up" parts, i have already all!
theses parts are easy and cheap, unless it's the same on other cars!
i have just buy the timming belt in US because realy more cheap than french car parts sellers.
i just wait my vacation to put theses on my lady.

thanks to you all!

Oui oui Monsieur

We don't doubt your knowledge or mechanical aptitude, we are only trying to help.

What you are describing now is damaged CVs [joint constant de vitesse] and the fix is new or remanufactured axles.

The term you used "dead axles" could possibly be interpreted as meaning no drive to the front wheels, which could mean a front differential problem.

Here in Ireland or England we would tend to say you had a damaged or broken CV drive. In the USA they might say you have a busted axle. In Australia, who knows? They would probably say the bastard front axles gone walkabout.

I don't know for sure if Legacy front axles would work for you as a replacement. They might. If so they would be cheaper and easier to find.
