Mine is clicking on right turns and I know for a fact that my Left axle is bad.(right axle is brand new and the left doesn't have a boot on the inner )

Clicking on right turn= left axle bad

Clicking on Left turn= right axle bad

All depends on which boot is torn and which joint is clicking... the inner joint or outer joint. Just jack the car up and get under there with a flash light and look. An easy sign to see which axle is bad, you'll see lots of grease from the axle boot splattered all over the place (most of the time).
