Popping Noise (Video)
Within the past few weeks or so I started noticing a light popping noise coming from the front end of my Blazer. Usually seems to occur when I shift out of park into drive and start moving slowly and turn. I can feel it in the floorboards under my feet. I also noticed a really light rattling feeling too that doesn't happen over bumps or anything I can just feel it from time to time at random times. The popping and rattling I feel are related its just the popping I can isolate and recreate. I recorded a video. The popping happens when I shift into drive or reverse and slowly idle backwards or forwards while turning the wheel. I've also noticed it pulling into parking lots etc. What's this sound? Any help would be appreciated. 
YouTube - Blazer Popping Noise?
It happens near the end of the video. I labeled the noises with text so it's obvious.

I have a 1998 bravada that does that same thing when I make slow turns into parking spaces.
It might be the cv axles I plan on changing mine soon to see if that fixes it.
I hope someone has the answer to this because it would help me out to.

My inner tie rods are bad and they make a noise just like that. Check tie rods by jacking one wheel off the ground and see if there is any play from left to right. Wheel should not move.

I had a smaller shop mechanic look at it that I know personally. He said my passenger side outer tie rod end is shot and everything else seems decent. Why would I feel that under the driver side though? I'm going to take it to my Uncle who works at a Chevy Dealer to fix it (where I don't pay labor) and to make sure there's nothing else wrong. We'll see if they find something else.
