If the CV joint is bad (clicking, poping, grinding noise, especially when turning). I would replace the entire axle assy. With a reman. Unit.
You can get a reman. Unit for $60-100, this is far easier that disassembling the inner and outer joints and re-booting them.
You should check the CV boots periodacally, looking for rips in the rubber boots. A tear will cause the lubricant to leak out and water/debris to enter the joint causing failure.
