Klunking sound

I just noticed the other day that my car is making a klunking noise that sounds like it is coming from the front right. I hear the sound when I get on the brakes a little harder than normal. After I hear it and get on the brakes again I don't hear it again. As soon as I take off a little spiritedly, I hear it again. I will keep hearing the sound if I repeat the process. Any ideas? I am guessing it has something to do with the suspension. Swift springs are the only modification to the suspenstino and I have had them on for about 15k miles. I am going to try to figure it out this weekend.

It doesn't make the sound when I hit bumps or turn either. Just thought I would add that.

Somebody help us! I am having the same issue. I have been reading posts like no other about this! I am gonna check all of my bushings first. If I have to, I am gonna buy each and every single one and replace them myself until it gets fixed. I think from others posts it could be the front sway bar end bushings, loose strut bolts, upper strut mount, or some other sort of bushing.

Yeah, I was looking everywhere around the suspension up front and couldn't find anything so I took it to the dealer. They charged me $98 just to look at it and were going to rape me for parts and repair. I just ordered Whiteline end links and will be putting them on myself as soon as they come in.
