Subject:need input on confusing CV joints...

Just swapped out my port side � axle due to a clicking CV joint. I was
getting a click under load on left sweeping turns and it WAS my left CV.
Which was obviously replaced once already (new looking with newer 6mm Allen
studs while other side has 12point)
 
Anyways, I took apart the offending axle and found perfect boots, perfect
grease and good looking metal every where! Actually these axle was tighter
then the original on the starboard side (230K miles!)  but yet has some type
of click that was very pronounced at times.
 
The click is gone with the new CV/axle assembly. Should I keep this unit for
when my starboard side goes, or is there some flaw in it that will just get
worse if used? 
 
Let�s here those stories of who has lived through such!
 
Thanks all.
