Ride height is normaly the front knuckle joint. Under the rubber on the susspention is a cone at the end of the cone is a ball of metal. This then sits in a plasic cup. The rubber could just be shot, the plastic cup could be worn out or you have after market ajustable suspention (there would be a nut between the cone and ball).

You can get the CV joint as a kit with the boots etc you will need. Try one of the many mini shops around. Mini sport, Mini spares etc.
