I've started hearing a knocking noise from the rear of the vehicle
when I accelerate. I'm thinking this is a sign that I need to clean
and repack the CV joints (which I've never done). Does this sound
right to anyone with experience?

Of course, the joints might be worn and in need of replacement. How
would I tell if they were worn beyond their service life?

Thanks for your help.
