Drive it down your local mine shaft.....
the boot you can tell with a visual inspection. there should be no tears in the boot. the boot is there to keep grease in and debris out. if the boot is torn and most of the grease is gone you probably should replace the shaft. if you catch it soon enough though you can just replace the boot which is much cheaper.

To replace the drive shaft on a Kia Sorento, first, elevate the vehicle securely and remove the wheels to access the drive shaft. Disconnect the drive shaft from the differential and the transmission by unbolting the retaining bolts. Carefully slide the drive shaft out from its mounts, then install the new drive shaft by reversing the removal process, ensuring all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Finally, reattach the wheels, lower the vehicle, and perform a test drive to ensure proper installation.
It depends if it is a 4 wheel drive truck. A rear driveshaft is used to drive the rear axle. A front driveshaft is used to drive the front axle on a 4X4.
