How to diagnose wear in the driveshaft's constant velocity joints during a road test on 2010 Volvo V50?

During a road test, listen for a metallic clicking noise when turning full lock which will indicate wear in the outer constant velocity joints. Vibration during acceleration may be indicative of inner joint wear. Only boot kits are available; damaged driveshafts need to be renewed, either with exchange options from Volvo dealers or specialists.
