Cv joints or not?

[US3D98]

I've been searching around but i still can't find out either its my cv axle or not.
my car been clacking and clunking everytime i turn.
today my alignment was way off or something which makes my car clack just going straight, the sound came from the left side of my front. So should I just replace my entire left cv joints?

there a big *** bolt in the middle of the rotor you have to take off and then pull off the axis

this is the easiest way i can put it..

1) take off your wheel
2) loosen the nut located in the middle of your rotor (you will need a 36mm socket, you can rent one from autozone for like 25$ and they will give you your money back once your done using it, and your also gonna need a breaker bar and a long pipe to use as leverage) and before you loosen the nut theres a small bent spot by the edge of the nut that you have to straighten before the nut is able to come loose (its like a safety lock pretty much)

THESE ARE ALL 17MM NUTS
3) loosen the top nut (the one with a safety pin through it) then hit the **** out of the top section to make it come loose because it sticks there over time, MAKE SURE U DONT HIT THE THREAD
4) do the same for the most bottomest nut with another safety pin
5) then to your control arm
6) take off the upside down V looking thing that holds the shock to the spindle, theres a 14mm bolt on the back you need to loosen up and a 17m bolt on the bottom holding it onto the spindle..
7) once its all done then just use a screw driver or something flat to use as leverage to make the axle come loose and your done.

you also need a 12mm socket to remove a small bracket that holds the brake line to the spindle, thats just so you have more room to move it around once you take it off because its kinda heavy

Appreciate it bro imma try it today.
Btw do I have to take off my calibers?
And also last time I tried I could knock out the bottom bolt but it
won't budge lol so I'll try harder today.
