CV Joints is my guess. Do a search and you'll find a sheet load of info on them.

Sounds like CV joints to me, that is what mine did and sounded like when one was starting to go out.

Try tightening the bolts first, they could be loose. If not, sounds like it's time to replace them or rebuild/repack the joints.
