A long time ago, I started to get a knocking sound when I accelerated from a stop. At first I was worried but far from home there were no other problems so I just got use to it. I have been driving it like this for some time now. Now its time to fix it. Sounds like my axle shaft is knocking into hub. I just pulled the Inbd CV and the C clip is on the axle. Before I pull the Outbd CV, I thought I would ask what I should be looking for. Any thoughts?

It may be your CVs just need re-packing with grease. When my car was fairly new, I remember a mechanic checking the CVs with the car up on a lift. He just grabbed the half shafts and tried to move them in and out. One didn't make any noise when he did that, and the other knocked like you describe. He said, "We better re-pack this one with grease. If you let them go like that, they'll ruin the CVs and maybe the stub axles." He re-packed it, and it was fine. Years later, an axle began to knock when I accelerated from a standing start, sounding the same way. I remembered the previous diagnosis and had the axles re-packed. Problem solved.
