Random Clunking Noise

[BINKZ]

V7 STi Wagon.

Just started happening from the front left side of the vehicle when going over bumps (doesnt occur on the right hand side)

Also weird noise from that side when i put my foot on the brake too.

Any suggestions?

Probably just gonna take it down the garage.

jack it up and check all bushes/bolts with correct socket and crow bar. could be loose strut/swaybar/anything

car just got new springs put in it today by the mechanic

everything was checked and tightened yet the sound persists so im thinking it could be the brake setup

seems to make the noise initially when i tap the brake sometimes

dont think its the strut as the noise isnt consistant enough and too infrequent

sounds alot like this video here

except not nearly as frequent

or even this...

would going over pot holes cause the pad to move enough to click/clunk though?

[BINKZ]

looks as though the left caliper is missing one of the large clips

that would explain the noise i guess at the pads must be moving slightly.

will have to try and track one down
