Rear suspension clunk

Got a nasty hollow clunk from the back of the car when turning slow to the right. Did all 4 cv boots in January so I'm sure it's time to swap out axles. Problem is I'm 400 km from home and have to get there to do any work on the car. My question is can I just crawl under the car and twist the shaft to check the amount of play in the axle? If I take it easy and avoid putting to much torque on the axle I should make it home I would think, no? Also, should I change both at the same time or just the one making noise? Finally motor mount done in Jan as well. Thanks guys.
