I am pretty sure my car's original(?) CV joints have excess wear. Take a look.

Is there grooves where the wear is? No pitting on the balls. If not assemble them with no grease and feel for slack. Some slack is ok, just so it is not sloppy.

In my opinion those are shot. Get new so you can sleep at night.
