Yes. If you hold the either side of the double cardan and twist in opposite directions you'll see obvious movement in the uni's if they are on the way out. If you can't detect movement you should be fine.

I've been checking on a pretty regular basis and there was a barely noticeable play in the joint in late december and there is now obvious slop.
