Exclamation 2004 Mustang Front End Clunk

My Mustang recently has been making a clunk in the front end on the driver side. Mostly when your slowing down to a stop. It also happens when you roll backwards from time to time. If i dont hear it from my radio on i can feel it through the floorboard. The sound is not consistent sometimes it happens and sometimes it won't. But i was backing it in and out of my driveway and i could hear it slightly when i would hop on the brakes quickly. My brakes are also sticking at the moment. The driver side is worse than the passenger side but they both are sticking. Is the sound from the driver side brake? Or should i lok into the suspension? Please help. Thank You

considering no one but yourself is there to hear the noise and feel it...very hard to narrow down. If you know the brakes are having issues, I'd start there. Shaking the front end down and checking the ball joints for play would also be a good idea

How do I check for bad ball joints? Where are they located? I was looking under the car last night and really didn't see anything abnormal. Other than the fact that i could barley move my front driver side wheel when i had it jacked up. Used to never do that up until recently

Honestly. If you don't know what the suspension components even look like. Working on it probably should be left to the professionals. I'd take it somewhere
