Default Clicking / clunking noise at low speeds

I've noticed a clicking/clunking noise at low speeds when braking to come to a stop or just as I tap the accelerator to get moving (and will happen again if I brake).

Seems to becoming from the front right and I can feel it through the steering wheel a bit also.

Any ideas / suggestions?

Car is a 2000 AU Fairmont with 70K

Suspension may need tightening up .. tie-rod ends ... ball joints ... could be a number of things.

Best bet is to get a suspension safety check from a reputable suspension place (they usually have a pretty decent offer) ... best bet is to get them to check it out and give you a report on it.

At least you know what it is and you know what to fix.

Good point!

I might have another look at it but if I can't see anything obvious $14 at peddas won't be too much!
