If you hear the sound, the boot doesn't matter - it's the joint that's bad and
needs replacing.

Do yourself a favour though, swap the entire axle - the part is more expensive,
but the labour is less (less time if you do it, less money if a mechanic does)
and in the end you have a better result for about the same money.
