Default Possible CV axle problem

Hey guys, this my first time posting on here, so please direct me to the right place if I'm not posting this in the right spot

I have a manual 08 tC and I've been experiencing grinding/squeaking noises ( coming from the passenger side wheel) at low speeds (below 25 mph) and vibrations a higher speeds when under acceleration.
This leads me to believe I have a CV axle problem. When jacked up I spin the tire backwards and this happens :


Please help

Edit: when I spin the wheel by hand it visibly makes the engine shake.

Shaking under hard acceleration is almost always a bad CV joint. I don't see many of them grind, but clicking and shaking are 2 signs the part has failed.
It happens stock but if you're lowered at all it increases the frequency of axles having issues. Swap the busted one out and you should be good.
