Steering wheel jerks and loud clunk

Hi all,
My Xdrive F01 steering wheel jerks hard and i here a loud clunking as the wheel turns from the front end really bad after driving for a while on the highway.
I know the boots are torn on my axels but i do t here this while turning the wheels, can this be associated which the axels or is it a ball joint problem?

Thanks

There's little or no grease left in the ball joint for lubrication so metal is rubbing on metal. At this point you'd be better off replacing the axle boot and adding grease or replacing the axle before it fails.
