    Sounds like may have failing outer cv joint at the front axles. Have inspected and replace as needed.

    Is that expensive? And what happens when it does fail?

    You can go to the estimator link on repairpal home page and get estimate for your area. If fails completely you will not be able to move and if breaks can damage other components near the axle. Have checked to remove all doubt.
