bad cv joint symptoms

["doug czajka" <scirocco16v@europe.com>]

list, 

    Could a bad outer CV joint cause the following thing:  The car give a quick pull to the left (the side with the assumed bad joint) right after changing gears.  It also pulls to this side when braking.  The cars is also having some other bad driveability issues that i think all relate to the same problem.

The boot over the joint is ripped into two pieces and has probably been this way awhile, so i assume the joint is bad.  I was just wondering if it could be causing the problems described above.  

Oh, the car isn't my scirocco, but my girlfriend's 86 jetta.  

Thanks for the help
