Does It Pop Or Clunk Around Corners?? If Not Chances Are It's Good. Unless It Was Like Mine A Long Time Ago And Has Been Ground Down To A Fine Powdery/Grease Substance. Honestly It Should Be Fine. If You Squeeze The Boot Firmly You Should Be Able To Feel the CV Joint Inside. Give It Some Firm Pulls Up And Down And Side To Side (Not Out!). It Will Have A Small Amount Of Play In It. If This Is The Case AND you Are Not Getting Any Popping Or Clunking Noises When Turning Corners...Then No Worry's. You Could Always Just Buy A Quaife Or Torsen And Do The Burnout Test. Easiest Way I Know Of To Tell If My CV's Are Busted Or Not!!! 
CSVT E0 3L
14.5 @ 94mph, Stock Intake, Stock Exhaust minus Resonator, CEL, And Broken Pass. Side CV...Untuned.
