That's a good start point, and usually the solution. Start with simple / cheap known wear items.
Are the boots on the half axles still intact? If they've failed, time to replace those. The U-joints can get stiff / notchy with time, and I understand a good mechanic can feel the movement when they are off the car, and ID a bad u-joint.
