Default I think I broke'd something... uhoh.

Haven't posted much in a while, but I lurk the forums daily. I can't describe my driving style but i can best describe it as "babying". Whenever I accelerate into right turns the car pops, stutters, jumps out of gear, lunges forward, and all that negative jargon. Only on right turns too, not going straight nor accelerating into left turns. For those who dont know i had the transmission replaced over a year ago by aamco and i believe the stearing rack had been replaced in the past. I'm thinking one of my cv joints is Fubar and needs to be replaced, but im done guessing what it is. Anyone have an idea?

Thanks all!

/sigh
How much would my local friendly mechanic charge to fix this in your opinion?
