It's the CV joint. On many instances, the only way to see if the joint is bad is if you take it apart. A ripped boot does not necessarily mean a bad joint or vice versa....

Condensation and dirt can still get in them even if they aren't ripped, though I'm willing to bet you've got a tear in them - which you can tell if you spread the boot apart, rib by rib. Though do as thermal says since its screwed either way. Typically, I dont either bother checking the CV joint, I just undo the LCA, take an impact at the axle nut, swing the hub assembly out (gotta take tire off of course) and yank the axle(s).

Re: cluckin in my front end
We had the same issue on a H22A4 92 Prelude. All we did was remove the axles and open them up, clean them WELL, and replace the boots and install in the car again. Never had a problem again.
I can lend a hand taking to it, I've got some tools and what not if you don't.
