cv clicking

My passenger side rear is clicking, both inner and outer are greased. I can't tell which one it is, so do I drive it hard and worry later or am I close to blow'in a cv? Just installed LT and all the other cv's sound good. Where do I go from here? thanks

If you can figure out which one it is...you can take it apart , clean it , and put new grease in it. Did that for a freind of mine a couple months ago...he tore a boot and didn't notice it till it started clicking. He bought a new axle , but is still running the one I regreased.

Pull the axle...you have to anyway. You'll be able to feel and hear which one is giving you a hard time. I wouldn't suggest repacking it unless you don't mind doing the job twice. I've cleaned and repacked two and they lasted less than a week. Just replace it while you have it apart the first time.
