How long till I need to replace the CV Joint do you think?
I replaced the right CV Boot last night after it's been cracked since purchase (not too long ago). It doesn't click or make any other noises but when I pulled it apart and cleaned it last night there are signs of wear....

*Slight ball grooves on the inner racer
*Very slight rubbing marks on the outside of the inner racer
*Small ball divots on the bottom of the each of the ball bearing slots in the cage

So anybody with experience in this have any idea how long it'll be before the dreaded clicking starts?
