Default New Axle or CV Boot?

Ok guys, so I've been hearing this clicking sound coming from the front end when I accelerate only, it doesnt really do it when I turn the wheel, I know to replace the CV boots when it you hear it when turning the wheels... anyways, the sound sounds like a clicking (the same sound as when youre playing ping pong ball or soemthing and the ball hits the paddle, lol). When you buy new axles they come with the cv boots... so do I really need to replace the entire axle or not? the sound occurs when I accelerate or let off the gas as a slow roll. So any suggestions? New axles or just replace the cv boot? Thanks for the advice in advance guys.

Change the axle out. Once it starts clicking, the joints are already worn down too far. CV boots are available for instances when you can catch a busted boot before the axle starts to click.
