Default suspension problem

Hi everyone, so a couple days ago my front left suspension started making this clicking noise that got louder each time. yesterday I popped the hood to inspect it and noticed that the inner part of the shock (tein ss) was sticking out a lot to the point the it made a dent on the hood!

today, I replaced the coilover with my old oem shock/spring so i can figure out where to fix my tein coilover.
the problem now i that it still makes a lot of noise when i go over small bumps or cracks on the road. I made sure every bolt/nut was in place before taking the road test, so i dont know whats making my suspension sound like theres something loose. I did notice that the axles boot is cracked pretty bad but i dont know if that could be the problem?

do you guys have any idea what to check next?

thanks in advance

Well your axle could be a huge factor in why you get a click sound or you have issues with a bad ball joint and or tie rod....I would change out the bad axle and or replace the CV boot and grease.
