A clunk when you switch between drive and reverse, vibration, or a joint that looks dry or rusty can mean wear, though other wheel-end parts can make similar noises. During a brake or tire service, look for grease leaking past the seal or rust staining at the joint, and leave play testing to a shop so the cause is found before you replace the joint.
