Ticking while turning, the occasional clunk, increased road noise.

yup, yup, and yup. also I've had nasty vibration under acceleration as well

Edit: good way to save the rubber boots. spray them with silicon spray lube every time you're up under the car for an oil change. 160k+ and still running on original factory installed units.

I developed a severe vibration from my stock passenger cv axle (inner joint), with unharmed boots.

Boots don't HAVE to be torn for the CV axle to go bad.

I have 165,000 on my stock axles and never sprayed them with anything. No signs of cracks or anything. Leave them alone. Axles just wear, some fast some slow.

Clicking is the most obvious and common sign.
