Knocking at rear passenger tire

Ok.

1997 BMW Z3 2.8L
Rear Wheel Drive

Here's a quick description of the problem I'm having. Whenever I accelerate too quickly when I'm driving below approximately 35mph I get a rapid knocking noise coming from my right rear tire (general area, at least). It only happens when I'm accelerating--never when I'm not actually accelerating--but I don't get the knocking if I accelerate slow enough. Doing some quick google research tells me it could be a CV Joint issue. Any other ideas/opinions?

If it does sound like a CV Joint, what kind of damage am I looking at? $1k?
