Default Bad CV Joint???

Greetings, I'm getting a knock, knock, knock, knock sound when I make a hard right turn while accelerating. When I make the same right hand turn without pushing on the accerator pedal it does not make the sound at all. I'm thinking it might be the CV joint but both boots are in good shape. Thoughts, comments welcome.

Bought the car with 25k on it so I don't know if the former owner hit curb or something.

Is it possible to just pull back the boot, clean out the joint, repack it, and put the boot back on?
