your boot is probably torn and need replacement. if it's to the point where it's making noises, I suggest replacing the complete axle.

to check which side is leaking grease from the torn boot, just look behind the rims and you will notice a good amount of grease all over it.

Only change the axle if it's leaking grease. Bad axles will click whenever the car is rolling and the wheels are turned. The clicks may change in frequency with the speed the car is moving.

The other common issue is a strut tower bearing that clicks whenever you rotate the steering. A bad bearing will click mostly when you are turning the wheels and the clicking will depend on how quick you are turning the wheels.

This seems to be a common problem with these cars, I have seen a couple threads on the clicking noise, mine clicks 2 but only when i turn it all the way and thats when I am at a stop.

My car never makes that sound but it does make an odd squealing noise every now and then when I start it up.
