Front End Noise?

I'm getting a noise coming from the passenger side suspension. Its like a clunk/bumping sound and it mostly occurs at slow speeds on the light bumps. On big bumps you don't hear it. I checked the front end for play everything is tight..Is this a common thing with these cars or something?

Jack up the pass. side and simulate a small bump. I.e put a pry bar under the tire and lift up. Would be best to have another person with you to do that so you can hear it and try to pin point it.
