Looks alright to me. Click could be bushings, tie rods, etc...

A rhythmic click while turning could mean the CV joint is worn/damaged. If the CV boot failed and wasn't discovered early, contamination may have occurred in the joint itself leading to failure/clicking. Agree w/Nazario, if it's a single or non-rhythmic click/pop, may be suspension bushings/tie rod ends, etc.

have them clean the area after the fix. there should never be cv grease leaking out if thats the case.
