I would strip both, as I found, you may find that the outer one is ok in which case just clean, re-pack with grease and fit a new boot.
Not a bad job to do

I hope I'm not teaching you to suck eggs but when reassembling the other one if it's still ok, make sure you get the alignment correct (I didn't! lol )
This will help - http://www.outfrontmotorsports.com/cv_assembly.htm
If you get it wrong like I did then you'll get no pivot in the joint.
It's an easy job though, just try not to lose the ball bearings when they pop out as they no doubt will - all over the floor

It's not uncommon for one of the rivots to break and start hitting the gearbox case.
Eventually the rivot breaks free and destroys the casing.
However I don't understand why it shuts up under a particular lock unless there is enough end float to stop the rivot head catching.
I maybe miles off though which is why you should try it when jacked up and get underneath and listen.
Axle stands a must btw!
Could be as daft as a stone stuck behind the brake disc hitting the back plate

Normally they grumble or whine under lock if worn - not knock.
At least its sorted and was an easy fix!
