Suspension gurus chime in and help me out!
Started doing this a few days ago.. Does this when turning the wheel.. When starting off in first gear makes a few knocks/clunks/... When driving in 1st 2nd, or 3rd low Rpms, and press the brake once it makes a knock or clunk.
What do you guys think?

imma go with cv joint as powell said, and to my knowledge it wont make noise all the time, my gf's celica has a bad cv joint, and it only makes noise every once and a while, you could also check your sway bar endlinks, grab them and jerk em around, if they have any give, they are bad; i think thats how you check them, someone correct me if im wrong.

check the lower bracket to the strut. There should be a locking ring on it . Check the coil springs, they should be sitting on a torrington bearing or at least a stainless steel shim with some grease on it to enable the spring to move. If it binds up the locking ring to the lower bracket can undo and cause issues.

Everything seemed fine on the coils Powell. If it was the top strut bearing I would definitely feel it if I put my hand on the strut top correct? Lugs are tightened.

check the lower bracket. check the spring perch. have some one turn the wheel while you look at the spring with a flashlight thru the wheel to see if the spring is binding and unwinding on the lower or upper spring perch.
all i got so far if the top plate is good. all the best of luck with this. hope u find the answer.
