Driving it now ding 60 I can hear it. Basically doing below 30 I can't hear or feel it but above that I can. The thump gets faster as I speed up

Spent yesterday after work going through truck and I believe I found the issue. The driver cv joint has a lot of slop in it I can physically pull the cv away from the spindle that's in my front differential. Appears that the retainer clip is gone as it doesn't lock into place and I can almost remove the entire axle out. So I'm heading down to part store going to get a new spindle and cv axle this week sometime.
