How can I check to see if this is it?

You can check one side at a time.  Jack up one front corner and get 
underneath the car (jack-stands are very helpful and make sure you have a 
solid surface) with the car in gear turn the tire. If it rotates more than 
the output flange at the transmision then the CVJoints are bad.  Hope this 
is helpful.
