CV Joint or differential?

My car was making crazy sounds the other day pulling out of a parking lot in full lock right. It had rained so the tarmac was wet, and it sounded like the two front wheels were tugging in different directions and causing slip on the ground. That only seemed to happen that in the wet (it doesn't rain much here obviously, so that's the first I've driven in the wet).

I also get a sound sometimes pulling onto my drive at full lock - sounds like the tire making contact with the fender, but only barely. And yeah, it only does it sometimes. I tested it the other day - was doing full-lock circles in an open parking lot, looking like a right buffoon - and couldn't hear a thing.

Seems strange for stock wheels on a stock car, but I'm not worried. Seems fine to me.
