Seems to be most notable at low speed while accelerating. I think I’ve read that you can drive those quite a ways without major issue but upgrade is inevitable and soon.
The boots are intact, don’t look too bad, more checking is needed.

Break it all down - both sides, then see what you've got.
Tip: Once each side is jacked up, grasp the tire cross ways from
both sides, and feel for play in the bearings.
Report back when broken down for inspection.
