Default CV joints?? perhaphs?

OK, so it was all smiles and sunshine in candyland.... coming back from work... when i started hearing this ticking noise.... i turned the volume all the way down and it was quite a ticking sound, it was actual sounds of somthing like cracking , like hitting against something...
It comes from around the drivers wheel, and it only does it when i let go of the brakes or the gas.... the faster i go the harder it sounds... but it seems to do it only when reducing speed and not advancing it... could this be a bad cv joint? or what?? i need to get this fixed asap =(

oh yea, most definatly your CV, if you would have just changed the boot you would have been fine, but now you will more than likely need the whole CV joint

OK! so heres the deal, it wasnt the cv joint..... i work at a very far place from the city, call it the worse part... place full of effing cholos, somebody tried to steal a rim out of my car and they ****ed up the lugs... so turns out the thing that was doing that sound was actually the rim itself.....
Lesson learned, i just spent my check on boots (i also have the one of the direccional bar broken) and new brake ceramic pads... i had like 10 dlls left out of my paycheck.. so i was like **** it and got caliper paint.... why? i dunno.... guilty ricer pleasure....
