Checking the CV boots will not tell you anything. It is most likely a CV joint. I would replace the whole axle on that side. It is easier and most likely cheaper than just rebuilding the thing. If that doesn't clear it up, then replace the wheel bearing. You can check the wheel bearing by jacking the car up and pushing on the tire. If it moves, you need a new wheel bearing.

Good luck and welcome to HAN. Enjoy your stay.
