Hermzz...sounds like the problem I use to have with my Isuzu. If you turn it all the way to the right or left, it clicks. That's not good, your boots are probably ripped too. You're gonna have to replace the cv joints. I paid about $450 for mine with the labor. The parts should run about $120 each. The prices reflect my Isuzu parts, your prices could be different (I don't know how significant). But I'm pretty sure it's your cv joints man.

if the cv joints are bad, your better off replacing the axle insted of rebuilding - much easier. I would check the tie rods & ball joints also. while the car is lifted - grab the front tire & shake - if any noise or play, you then most likely have a worn suspension part.(ball joint, tie rod, bushing, etc.) its hard to say without seeing it.
