Default Right front clunking

I seem to be getting a clunking in the right front end when braking. Most often I notice it at slow speeds. Any ideas?

Only when braking? Or does it happen when you go over bumps or holes? It could be the front swaybar links

maybe your pads have become thin and are close to replacement. I used to hear clunking around turns when my pads were thin.

The problem is probably a failed control arm bushing.
