Can this CV joint clank?

[Konstantin Bogach]

I am reposting it again - it was no response.  I think my question whether
it could clank was not clear. What I ment was the clanking sounded like once
per revolution (my estimation).  I expect that, taking into account symmetry
of CV joint mechanism, if it worn out then it will clank # of balls more
frequent then once per revolution.  Of course, it might not the case at
all.  That's why my question.
The rest of questions below  I hope have more sense.

Thanks.

Konstantin.
