I keep hearing a click noise from the driver's side axle, but I think it's the opposite side from the one that has a torn boot. What else could worn-out aside from struts?

That depends on the noise, can you upload a short video so I can tell for sure? A worn CV axle can make a clicking noise without a torn boot. But it can be the struts as well, I need to hear the noise.
