I'm certain that ALL FOUR could not be bad at the same time.  Chances are in
fact that NONE of them are completely bad, unless the noise was real loud &
sudden. Since the weather's been warming up, chances are it just made your
grease thin out a bit and the knocking started rather mildly.  Usually happens
first while turning a corner and can stay that way for months with slight
knocking during cornering.

You could likely get away with having new grease installed for now and start
saving for replacement of likely one or two CV joints.  Of course check with
Kyle (Volks Cafe), Jim (Sherwood Automotive), and Ron (Bus Depot) all of whom
will have MUCH better prices than the dealer ever dreamed of!

After hearing some CV knocking from one of my Syncro's CVs, I regreased and
havent heard a sound from it since.  That was 3 years and 25,000 miles ago.

Good luck,
