what do you mean giving you a hard time? how bad is it or what is going on? I have driven on bad cv joints several months but I wouldn't drive it if it clunks going stright forward.
If you are gentle, you can nurse it along for a pretty long time. Depends on what the situation is though, like 2oodoor said.

That's what's going on I know to replace it but don't have the money to get right now but the. Noise is hard to ignore sometimes.

If it is clunking and shaking driving streight then it can break, then you risk further damaging transmission housing and anything in the vicinity will get the crap beat out of it till you come to A stop. Not to mention flinging parts at somebody else...
A reman axle is about 50 bucks but theres cheeper ones if you shop, especially at junk yards. Pick one with good boots and odds are its fine.
You can rent or borrow/return the socket for the axle nut and a balljoint separater.
No other special tools really needEd, takes about 30 min if all goes well.

Many times. All front wheel drive cars will have this eventually. Every one Ive ever owned, chevy, olds, toyota , honda, vw, had at least one side halfshaft rplaced.
Replace a CV? Yup. I'll be replacing my driver side one next month.
