If your axles are not clicking yet then immediately ground the car and reboot the joints with either factory boots or even universal boots.

Load each joint up with good CVJ grease and a thin bead of weatherstripping glue where the boot ends meet the shaft and joint assembly. This glue prevents salt from getting stuck between the two and start a rust party.

The good part is that the reboots are not that difficult on your car as you have an easily removable lobro style joint on the inboard side.

btw you will also need some anaerobic sealant for sealing the inner joints end caps (permatex make a red colored sealant)
