knocking and shaking

So, a day or two I noticed I could hear my car making a light knock underneath by my tire but didn't think anything of it. Today I noticed the problem was way worse (usually my music is too loud to notice any noises) this noise had progressed. It is a loud knock it seems. What I think i have deducted is that the noise gets much quite if not goes away while accelerating but returns when I left off gas. It also makes sounds rolling in neutral. The noise slows down when I slow down and up when I speed up. Sometimes it seems that if I turn the wheel just right it stops. The noise is a clunk clunk noise that is persistent and it shakes my wheel and pedals a little. It seems to be getting worse.

I'm gonna remove tires and jack it up tomorrow. What do you think I should be looking for? Axle problems?

checked both front cv boots. no tares or leaks, however, after looking up problems associated with the cv boot, it seems to fit.

the noise and shaking were louder this morning. its a ticking time bomb. should i pull the boot off? if so, what will i be looking for?

ill prob take it to the mechanic tomorrow but would kinda like to know for myself what it looks like.

thanks for the suggestion of the CV boot.

I wouldn't pull it off since you'll have to repack it and you said it looked ok
