When a CV joint goes bad you will hear a clicking noise coming from the front end. Which ever way you turn the outside wheel will click due to the load going to that wheel and you will hear a distinct clicking sound. If you drive on it long enough it can completely fail and can get quite costly you should go out now and get a new one if it is bad. You do not want to have to pay for a tow and risk tearing up the internals to your engine by driving on a bad CV!

The CV joint boot is bad, and needs to be replaced.
Is bad cv joint dangerous to drive?
Yes. What usually happens is the neoprene boot that covers the joint wears out and breaks. This allows contaminants to enter the joint and grease to be washed away. The CV joint's days are numbered after this happens. You have a limited amount of time to get it fixed before it fails. If it does fail, it is a safety issue. Not only will it cause severe damage to your car, but it could cause a serious accident.
Can a bad cv joint make noise going straight or slowing down?
Yes it can, and if it is, trust me this just happened to me, you got to fix it as fast as possible. If you just blow it off you can be looking at some dire consequences. 1) The CV joint can abruptly fail and you will lose all drive power, if one CV joint goes your differential will NOT power the other wheel. 2) if you are driving at a good click, the RPMs on the CV joint will cause it to fail and the CV joint will tear up the inside of your engine. 3) In rare occasions the failure could cause one of your wheels to lock up and you will lose most if not all control of your car. Moral of the story is do not drive any long distances from your house on a bad CV joint unless you have money to blow on a tow. You can buy a replacement CV joint at any Auto Parts store for 75-125 dollars, I advice to get one with a lifetime warranty. DO NOT DRIVE ON A BAD CV JOINT!
Is it not good to drive long distance with a busted cv joint on your passenger side of car?
Actually it is impossible to drive with a "busted" CV joint. The half shaft is comprised of a shaft and two CV joints at each end. There are 3 different kind of cv joints, but that's besides the point. The half shaft transfers power from the tranaxle to the wheels. If one goes, the car don't. You probably mean cv boot. The boot is what protects the cv joint from dirt and moisture etc. I have seen a cv joint fail anywhere from a month to a year and a half after seeing a torn boot. It is a gamble to drive like this. The centrifical force of the axle spinning flings the grease out of the joint. The joint goes dry, metal on metal action happens and it self destructs.
