I think you mean ball joints?

The CV Joints...? main thing you can do is first... the main reason why they are clicking is most likey because you have a riped cv boot and all the greas is goine and geting dirt up in there... now if the cv joint is shot you will need to replace it but it still might be saveable... you need to disable the axle... clean off the joint with some strong cleaner like "brakes parts cleaner" then after that buy a cv boot kit (it will come with grease) you will need to pack the bearing with grease and the assmble it with the boot full of grease... and you should be good.

just go get a new/remanufactured drive axel from a napa or something... there only like 70 - 100 bucks.... replace it now before its rips and ur stuck somewhere and they wont give u the core charge.... trust me happened twice... its not that hard to do on your own just remove the nut on the end of the axel that holds it to the rotor. and then there is a bracket with 2 bolts that is easy to get to...
