Default 1995 850 GLT Wagon - Bad CV joints?

I'm hearing a pretty clear "clicking" noise coming from the front axle. I'm assuming it has something to do with the CV joints.
Any suggestions? Is there a way to check them to see if they might just need grease vs a full replacement? Also, I've read about rebuilt vs new? Is there an advantage to one over the other - other than price? Thanks for any suggestions, stay safe!

I assume that is a CV joint also. But, can't be sure. It should do it, more, when turning, and when the power is on.

I got my last one from O'Reilly.

Definitely does it turning at slower speeds, like when backing out of the driveway.
Did you replace your CV joints yourself? How tough was it?
Thanks for replying!

like you need to ask if there's a RobertDIY video on youtube? The bigger decision is whether to go after market or rebuilt OEM. FCP and IPD both sell replacement axles but folks have been burned by cheap after markets (mostly vibrations etc). You can also look for kits to rebuild yours as well.
