To diagnose a bad CV joint, listen for clicking or popping noises when turning, which often indicates wear. Additionally, check for grease leakage around the CV boot, as tears can lead to joint failure. A visual inspection for any unusual play or movement in the axle can also help identify issues. If symptoms persist, a mechanic can perform a more thorough examination, including a road test.
