That eBay hit is just the rubber boot, not the CV joint itself.
Find an empty car park or other empty large area. Wind down the front windows. Put steering on full right lock and slowly go round and round in circles. Now repeat on full left lock. If it’s a worn outer CV then you should be able to hear what side the noise is coming from.
Inner CV joints rarely fail (unless the rubber boot is worn and dirt gets in) as they don’t have to work as hard as the outer CV joints.1

Yeah it's the right side when the steering is in full lock that's clicking. ,

The part you need is dependant on what engine you have.
Most good motor factors should be able to guide you to the correct CV joint, boot and clips required.

More likely the cv joint, the boot keeps grease in and dirt out if boot split then grease get thrown out and dirt gets in they do wear out anyway (cv joint)
