Default hobble in reverse? turning right or left!

I have an 07 H3 that's an auto. it has 107,000 miles. when I am in reverse sharp left or sharp right it seems to dog walk or hobble. I had the left hub assembly replaced about a year ago. the other thing is that it pops, or clicks very little while driving forward. it only happens when I turn to the right and left now. any suggestions? I have been researching the forums. some say the cv axles, and some say possible the hub assemblies. another thing is that I was underneath looking around. no torn cv boots at all. I did notice that there is slight fluid on my inner driver side cv axle. not the boot , but closer to the round shaft/metal near the engine. could it be a bad seal? any suggestions or ideas would be awesome. thanks

Year, mileage, service records all helpful.
Your description is vague and I'm not sure in mho what to suggest.

Default hobble

O7 H3 with 107,000 mies. It as been serviced regularly. Had to replace the driver hud about a year ago. Also had the inner tie rod replaced about a year ago. This was all done by the dealership or firestone. I have a driver side inner cv seal leaking, not the boots. That repair will be done soon. I am getting the rack and pinion uprade with the heavy duty bracket from the forums. Its like in reverse turn right or left it seems like its hobbles or dog walks.

Default hobble

I have been told several things!
1. Cv axle bad
2. Steering rack bushing/play. Gonna uprade to the metal/aluminum brackets preferred from site.
3. I have a slight popping turning right or left driving forward. Opinions as of body mount bushings, cv axles, etc. Its going into the garage soon. Hopefully they could pin point the problem. I have been searching the forums for info. If its something i can fix myself to save a few bucks. Why not! It has 107,000 miles! Probably 50,000 would be highway. Not abused or trashed. Any advice or help would be great. Thanks
