4ws means the car has a steering rack frount and back so it can crab into car parks and has a tighter turning circle but at high speeds it stops
4wd cars can have 8 cv joints inners and outers

wont damage anything uless its real bad i drove my fxgt till it was so bad a bearing colapsed and it started vibrating badly when i pulled it apart there were peices of bearing in the boot

if ya pay someone to do it probably $100 or something theres not alot of lobor but ya need a 24mm socket and a power bar or rattle gun

Yeah $300 fitted for a pair sounds fair, the joints would cost you approx $100 each. Yes, you do have 4 CVs but they are all at the front (inners and outers) as you have no driveshafts in the rear.
