"Clangy" sound develped, Possible CV Axle?

A few weeks ago I went mudding out in the desert and since then I have developed quite an annoying "clangy" sound that I really only notice with my windows down ( I know I could just keep my windows up and turn up the stereo!) but I really don't this to get worse.

At first I thought I had rattled some of my exhaust system loose but I got under and looked and discovered that the upper part of my driver-side CV Axle was looking rather greasy (didn't notice any tares on the boot but mainly greasy/oily on the canaster).

This clangy sound is most prevelant when above 5 mph and gets louder the faster I go. Is it the CV Axle (I just bought one today to put in this week)? or I have been told it could be the Wheel Hub assembly. Any thougthts on this problem?[/b]
