Default noise when turning at low speed(cv boot?)

noise turning at low speed from the front right suspension. It is a clicking type of noise when im at a stop and turn right hard it makes the noise. Im guessing it is a cv boot, or possibly an axle?? What would be your guess?

Sounds like the CV joint, not the boot. The boot itself is just a chunk of thick corrugated rubber, so it does not make noise on its own. The "click" when you're at the end of the wheel travel is often the first signs of a CV joint wearing out. Take a look under the car at the CV boots and see if either one is torn. If it is, suspect the joint.

It's about 80-100 bucks DIY to replace it.

You can rebuild the CV joint or just replace the whole 'half-shaft'.
