When experience differs from theory more checking is probably needed. I just searched the Internet on "CV joint test" and found a few other things you can look at before deciding which one needs replacing, including jacking up the font end, looking, and feeling around. Good luck.

If I remember correctly, the cv joint opposite the direction you're turning when the noise happens is the bad cv. I.e. Turning left with clicking sound = right cv axle is bad; turning right = left cv axle is bad. Keep in mind when turning, it's the outside wheel that's turning faster to compensate for the turn.
