Subject:cv joint questions

A few days ago, while slowing down i noticed a scraping noise,
corresponding to
the speed of the wheel. it sounds like its coming from the right rear.
i wasnt sure what it was,
today it started making the noise while accelerating too, no noise while
driving and not under
a load.  it would also go away if i pushed in the clutch.

I think it must be the outer CV joint.   i cant figure out what else it
would be.

question is, can it be lubed in some way, since its a dry scraping noise
or am i going to have to
have it replaced. ?

are there 4 of them, and should they all be replaced or lubed ?

TIA
