Definitely, absolutely....110% CV joint.
I have had many experiences with these when worn. Sometimes the clicking sound only happens when left/right turn, depending on which side, or deccel or accel......but when it clicks........always CVs.
When replacing them.......it is way cheaper on the labor to get a full halfshaft assembly and replace both ends of the CVs. Yep....two CVs for each halfshaft: on at the wheel and the other at the diff. So, when replacing the full halfshaft, you're replacing both.....who knows the other might be worn also. The labor cost to disassemble the halfshaft and only replace on CV is the same. If you buy a remanufactured halfshaft (1/2 of OEM price or less). If guibo or other center shaft issues, vibrations will be more prevalent.
Good Luck!
