I have a suction cup mount for my iPhone that is priceless for diagnosing issues. Take a video of a part in question under load.

Here is an example of verifying my thrust bushings are shot. Hitting the brakes going about 2mph. Wheel moves over a cm rearward.

My right side cv I could see a degree or two of motion when changing from D to R before replacing, also some stones got onto the brush plate under the engine and made a hell of a racket in reverse at zero mph and that was all but eliminated with swapping the cv axel. Found a new "copycat" part for $120. Since only takes a couple hours to change I rolled the dice on non-OEM and very happy with the off-brand I picked (other than I had a problem with the retention ring and had to swap the original over.
