CV joint or what?



Well, it seems my CV joint has finally decided to die on me. Well, at
least I think it's the CV joint. I noticed the boot was ripped a
little while ago so I've been expecting it to die, but it doesn't
feel/sound quite the same as when I've had them die before.

It started yesterday with a sound like the tire was rubbing at one
spot, a rhymic "rub" sound that varied with the speed of the car. Now
it has become more like a "crunch" type sound, but it still varies
with the speed of the car. It has also gotten louder. I also think
it's worse when turning, but that could be my imagination.

So CV joint correct? Or is it something else? Wheel bearing perhaps? 

And if it is the CV joint, what car should I ask for an axle from when
I call my FLAPS considering this is a mk1 with a 9A tranny in it? TIA
