quiet clicking from CV

is it correct that the CV is going out if it clicks quietly when the truck is raised off the garage floor and the tire is spun? a healthy CV shouldn't make much noise at all, right? found a couple posts that pointed in this direction... wanted to get a final word. thanks

As long as the motion is smooth, I wouldn't worry about it. I might try lubing some of the other components in there first, such as your hubs and wheel bearings, to make sure everything is good and then just drive until it starts getting really loud or something catastrophic happens.
