Inspect the rubber boot that covers the joint. If it is torn, and there is dirt and grit up inside, your cv joint is about to fail. You'll know it is failing when it starts clicking. It will click each time the wheel turns. The clicking gets worse as you turn the wheel. The clicking gets worse and louder and turns into a 'thunk' right before it self destructs.
