As far as I know, it's the bearings that go in the CV joints. So unless the housing around the bearings came apart, I would imagine the only way to know would be by driving. I've had a few go bad. Once it was a clicking that grew progressively worse, another time it started growling and then I think the CVs on both sides went out at the same time somehow and the car would not go forward (it sat for about 14 years until just prior to this). Just before this happened in both cases, I noticed the boots were crumbing apart or partially gone. So that would be my first advice in your case - check the boots. If it's crumbling, it's probably the one that needs to be replaced. If it looks new, you probably recently changed it.
