chances are if your boot was ripped on your cv its usually toast and the bearings can be put back in and it be rebuilt but if dirt got into it from a torn boot its usually not worth the hassle of rebuilding just buy a new one

What noise does a cv joint make when bad?
CV joints make loud clicking noises when the steering wheel is turned while vehicle is moving (usually when accelerating). If you put off replacing them for too long, the bearings will fall out and you will have to pay a tow truck to tow the vehicle. The bearings are marble sized and fit inside the boot - generally when a CV joint goes out, it's because of the bearings.

Should you replace the bearings when you replace the CV joint on a 1994 Honda Accord?
If you mean the spider bearings inside the CV joints, those actually come with the new joint (or CV axle assembly). Usually it's easier and more economical to buy an entire CV axle assembly (comes with the shaft and inner and outer joints). If you were referring to the wheel bearings, it's not absolutely necessary to change those unless they are worn. Interestingly, the front wheel bearings on the 1994-1997 Honda Accords is not a very commonly replaced item; not because they never wear out, but rather because the wheel HUBS typically require replacement rather than the bearings. In many cases, the splines of the wheel hub tend to be the problem when they become seized to the splines of the CV joint. If you find you do need a hub, then it is advised to replace the wheel bearings at the same time. The wheel bearing and hub are sold separately... OEM wheel hub is around $160, and the wheel bearing about $70.

How do you know if it's the wheel bearings or the cv boots are dry?
wheel bearings make a vibration noise. On front wheels, it's usually more noticeable when steering on highway curves between 35 and 50 mph. A bad CV joint usually makes a clicking noise on turns at low speed.
