Yeah. If it's indeed a CV, then it's typically you go to the one opposite the way you turn when it clicks. So if it clicks when you turn left, it's the right CV. If it clicks when you turn right, it's the left CV. Typically, though, the CV won't go bad unless the boot tears. Get under the car and see if either CV's outer boot is torn. If so, that's your Huckleberry.

I recently took my MX-3 round a track, and used the ABS loads... brake pedal is all spongy now

CV boot is likely torn...this is a rubber cover over the joint to keep greace in and dirt out. This is what caused your CV joint to fail (or almost fail) Oh, and when your CV joint goes your wheel falls off (almost) So yeah i'd get that one looked into before you end up in the middle of an intersection with a wheel that is basically broke off. LOUD clicking is bad..usually the worse the joint gets the louder the joint will click.

and get it changed quick, it doesn't take long for one to fail. sometimes it takes a year and sometimes less than a week. it is brutal when one fails. it basically makes your engine align with the shaft when you turn. it feels like your car is being pushed off the ground.
