CV joints usually clunk - clunk rather than tick.
The CV joint on the other side may start clunking in the next year. It's not an easy job to just replace the CV joint, but replacing the whole shaft is more straightforward if you can find an amenable scrap yard. I got mine done on a Cavalier for £30 each. As there aren't as many Puntos parts in scrap yards, it'd probably be more for you.
