drive slowly forward and backward while turning in a parking lot going through a wide range of motion.

do you hear a clicking noise? if not chances are its not the cv and you should be checking the wheel bearings.

will be waiting a reply!

also jack up the wheel and feel for movement in the wheel, if noticed check bearings for endplay or ball joints.even tie rods.
