My 01 V70 T5a with 105K miles is starting to make an unusual "grinding" noise when going around a sharp turn with a bump. If the turn is level no noise. I did an oil change this weekend and rotated the tires. While they were off I grabbed the CV joints and wiggled. On both sides, the inner joint seemed to have just a very little bit of play. I have been noticing this more on left turns, so I figured one side would have a little more play. They both felt the same. Are both going bad, or am I on the wrong trail?

I noticed FCP Groton and IPD both sell DSS brand. Are these OEM, or should I go through a dealer? Any things to know when changing these out? I thought it shouldn't be too tough. Oh, I did check the spring seats too and they still seem good.
