If they dont give you Knock KnocK jokes when in use. Other than that the clues are rubber boots ok and what condition the grease is in ( Is it
contaminated or not) other than that its lucky dip.

Cheers. They're not fitted to the car, they're on the bench!
Should there be any slack in them at all if I hold one end and try to rotate the other?

Why don't you strip them and check them that way? I did this a couple of weeks ago, its simple really. There are 6 ball bearings, the outer
and inner case and a bearing locator thing. Just make sure you mark them up and put them back the right way round if not it will be a locked joint.
I drilled a tiny dimple in the outer and inner case so I knew where to align them when rebuilding.
