A failed outer CV will knock relative to roadspeed (ie it will knock faster the quicker you're going) and will typically be only present (or atleast considerably worse) under power.

It could last months or collapse in 5 minutes but nurse the throttle especially when turning no hard accelerating it will probably see you through till you can swap it

Not entirely surprising it's failed in just a year, as many "new" or "recon" shafts are utter garbage these days sadly
