If the boots are dead on a ball joint then that would be my number one suspect.

(aside - slip plates =>

They're great - stick them under a wheel and you have situation where the weight is on the wheel just like in normal use. You can then bounce the car up and down and get a really good feel / you can really see how everything is working or not. It beats strapping yourself on the underside of the car and getting someone else to drive it for you!

Be careful with slip plates though - cars are surprisingly mobile on them - only ever do this on very level ground )
