Won't be a cv joint so as drive shafts are on the back axle so don't steer! Front wheel bearing possibly?

Well if you only got the alternator refurbed I'd bring it back to whoever did it and let them have a look.

Replace front brake pads and discs you'd be lookin around €150-€170. Now that's a rough estimate on an educated guess! So it mightn't be very accurate. But you should defo get it check as soon as possible
