if its clicking your cv joint is fucked..

Just get under the car and look at them If there is grease everywhere, just get new ones. If not then look at the bearing. Wheel bearings dont do that though.

They hum. Like if you put some super swampers on your car, it would give you a woozing hum sound.

Cv axles click and thud when you are turning. If you turn all the way and accelerate it should tell you.

Putting new boots on them is a bad idea also if its already clicking. The clicking comes from slop or play in the shaft cause its poorly lubricated. Rebooting it would be comparable to rebuilding your engine with a bad ring on brand new pistons.
