Subject:popping noise from rear wheel area

This is probably a a rhetorical question, but I need to gather
wisdom. My 84 vanagon has recently started making a popping noise
that seems to link to wheel speed and comes from the passenger
side rear wheel area. It has been intermittent, goes away after a
few miles, is worse under acceleration.

My first reaction is CV joints, but what do I know. Any other
things that are better or worse. If it is CV, then are there
opinions on replacing the joint vs rebuilt axles.

TIA
