how to diagnose

While I think I know the answer already, I'll ask this question anyway.
I left my 92' 9000T with my indie for over a week, after a radiator and rear drive side brake assembly replacement, it seems to still have the same issue I brought it in for.
At speed, there is a faint "bumping/knocking" sound coming from the front end. On occasion, when executing turn, braking or going down hill, the "bumping" sound will get louder. I've ruled out wheel bearings, as I get the same sound with two sets of wheels. My indie said that he couldn't find any play in the front wheels indicating sloppy ball joints or tie rods. He thinks that maybe it could be the inner CV boots? In any csse, I'm a bit hesitant to drive the car long distances as I don't want to loose a wheel.
What is the least expensive possible fix to try first? I'm guessing that replacing the pads and rotating the rotors would be first? then CV boots/joints? Then an axle?
Thanks in advance,
Sven
