Default clicking sound when straightening the wheels

I'm getting a clicking sound from the drivers front wheel well when I'm straightening the wheel out from a tight turn at low speed left or right.Its a 05 1500 4x4 qc with 70,000. It steers straight and it feels tight.I've had the drivers wheel off and checked the ball joints and tie rod ends and everything is tight.I put it in 4x4 and drove a mile to see if there was any vibration or noise from the cv joints and it felt and sounded fine.I stumped at where this noise is coming from and I can feel it in the steering wheel while its making the noise?

CV joint? Axle bearing?

I figured it out its a cv joint starting to go it drives down the road smooth but when taking a tight turn slowly you can feel the joint bind and pop itself back in place
