Default Help with noise - slight front end popping while braking ~1 per second

I have noticed a noise up front. It used to be a single pop (not too loud) while I applied brakes with some authority. It seems to pop 2-3 times now under same condition.

I had the boot replaced a while ago at my indy while in for some other work. Is this the clicking noise everyone refers to or not? No other noise seems to indicate bad bearings. Sounds more like a suspension thing. Tie rod ends?

FYI - I have '01 4.2 w/ sport pkg

TIA - Mark

Inspect upper control arms? Since UCA's seem to be a topic today...
