Are there any other tests for a failed CV?
there was a clicking noise about a month ago.

Ok jacked up front wheel it with it in 1st and diff lock.  and it span freely for about half a turn... aswell as that .. not sure if it is to help the diagnostic but i could turn the front prop by hand by about half a turn aswell...

J.D.:
If it is a CV joint then more than likely if has collapsed. I would pull the swivel pin housing apart and have a look, if it isnt the swivel pin housing will need to come off anyway to get the halfshafts and diff out, whicever is broken.

Thats more likely to be backlash in the teeth, because they will be worn, if the CV or halfshaft had gone it would spin forever!!
