There's a HUGE thread on this if you do a search. Way more than you ever wanted to know about CV joints...down to an analysis of metallurgy, etc.

IMHO, on a 79 like ours, all you need to do is replace the joints which can be bought for ~$90 each from Pelican. Inspect the hardware for damage and replace if needed. Inspection for CV joint bolt (OK, "cap head screw") tightness should be done after driving 100 miles, and as part of your pre-track inspection every time.

The Ramones' earliest titles included 'I Don't Wanna Walk Around with You,' 'I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement,' and 'I Don't Wanna Get Involved with You.' Dee Dee later said, "We didn't write a positive song until 'Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue'."
