Does this sound like driveshaft or cv joint?

Knocking sound from front drivers side wheel area only when I turn right with reasonable amount of lock. Turning left nothing, going straight nothing

A local garage has quoted me to replace the cv joint, no mention of the driveshaft? and on europarts website the driveshaft and cv joint dont appear to be all in one piece.
I'm confused??? its a 2003 model if that helps

So this driveshaft actually includes the cv joint?
