Why do you need to change them? They very rarely fail, the boot is split? If so, you can just change those out.

Yes, but as Mike said, assure it's actually the joint that needs replacing. If it's just the boots, much cheaper. Look into other items. That "grinding" during left turns could be many things. Start simple, and work out to the larger items, that may be the problem. Sorry, if you're stuck with having a shop/mechanic do it for you. You're at their will.

That joint you have highlighted is no good for the front of a 993 turbo.
