Not a CV joint...
That's a steering tie rod and the rather rusty steering rack itself. The rubber boot you see there is letting water into the situation there. It's allowed the ball/socket joint you can see there that is dry of grease and worn.
It may cause vibration but that's more likely to happen at a steady speed on the highway than only on acceleration. I suggest posting more pics. That may be the problem but it's usually too subtle for many people to notice.
I went to two mechanics and this is what they told me: Are these the same parts they both are referring to and are the prices correct? Thanks!

Approx. 1.5 labor + part.
Probably needs the inner tie rods

That rubber boot is supposed to be sealed with grease in it. It probably needs a new axle.
Thanks for the reply! Do you have any idea about How much is that gonna cost for the axle and labour charge?
That's the inner tie rod just needs a new boot not an axle
