    I suspect my rear CV may be going bad, and am just wondering what it sounds like?

    pop-pop-pop

    it's kind of a sharp, repetitive clunking. and you can feel it a little bit too, not just hear it

    The noise Im hearing only comes out at slow speeds with arduous suspension movement (bumpy parking lot) from the passenger rear, never hear it at high speeds. I cannot guess what else it could be.

    That's the same thing mine were doing when they went bad. See if you can get underneath and look at the boots. If they are torn it will be obvious. The noise is caused by the friction in the joint when the grease leaks out.
