Default front/right side 'clank' -- need opinion

Hi all,

Lately I've started noticing a slight 'clank' noise at very, very low speeds when coming to a stop or going over a small bump in the road. It seems to be my right/front suspension area.

I know this could be anything and I'll need to get the car up and wheels off to investigate. But I thought it might be worth a post to see if there is general concensus on what to look for...

thanks!

I would get the fronts as well, they're so cheap and easier that it was always a might as well do them all thing for me haha

but yes those are the fellers!

Also those race bushings might be a bit noisey as well
