when i full lock to one side i think its to the left which is my passenger side, the runner doesnt like it, and it makes a really loud ticking sound i think thats the best way to describe it, ummm i think it is my CV joint but havent had enough info to make sure of it or not???

all i know is that my runner has independent rather then straight thru, lol its probably irrelevant, tot eh question, but i do think i need to replace my cv joint it said it was cracked on the test papers when i purchased it, just been lazy, been to worried about putting bigger tires on it and making it look better on the inside!!!

Does it click when the hubs are unlocked? If it only clicks while they are locked then I would guess the cv joint(s) are gone.

If hubs unlocked (and they are actually unlocking), then the CV joints will not (or should not) be turning. Might be worth rebuilding the front hubs and see if that helps:

Probably wise to do both sides, but try the right side first. Once you clean up the parts, you may see if anything is worn or damaged and can go from there.
