    First, check the boots (rubber boot). If its ripped... change the joint.

    Second, if you have the joint appart as in disasembled, move it with your fingers and should be a bit tight. If it wiggles very loosly, that could be a sign of wear. If still confused, take it to a local shop and they should be able to tell you.

    Here's the diffrence between new and old... https://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8021
