The CV joints do not normally do that. The best approach is to have the steering and suspension systems inspected at a tire and alignment shop. The people there are experts at finding the causes of noises, vibrations, and tire wear problems. Common suspects are ball joints, struts, upper strut mounts, and control arm bushing.
