Well the clicking noise almost always means that it's to late for preventative action, because your CV boot (little rubber Accordion looking thing) has already been cracked or split and has allowed some sort of road contaminants into the boot, like sand or dirt. Which means the joint itself has already been damaged. However it is generally something that progressively gets worse, say it starts happening but only when you make a sharp left or right turn. Now if it just started happening, you can definitely prolong the amount of time before it actually needs to be replace. I have gone almost a year from the time I first heard one of my CV axles clicking and when I actually replaced it. How I was able to do so was first by avoiding really dirty/dust roads or puddles. Also trying not to turn so sharp that it makes that clicking sound. Because that is the sound of the joint being damaged further. Oh yeah, I also made sure there was plenty of grease in the boot. I used a multipurpose grease made by Valvoline, and comes in a blue jar.
