Default Some one please help!!!!!!!!!!!

Whenever I brake theres a noise coming from the front passenger side of the car. Theres also slack in my steering wheel, i can turn it about an inch either way without any response at all. My car is rebuilt but doesnt have any frame damadge. The only thing I know thats wrong with the car is that theres a bushing on the front passenger side for the engine mount thats messed up. I was wondering if my steering problem and the noise would stop if I either get that bushing changed or even go as far as changing out the whole engine mount. Could it be that when the car was repaired that there might be something that might put too much pressure on the front passenger bushing and that even if I changed out the bushing or the engine mount that it would just happen again anyways? By the way I drive a 2004 anniversary edition mustang GT 5-speed and it only has 5000 km's on it.
Its the control arm on the drivers side, the V or Y shaped thing, its the bushing on the rear end of the control arm.

Thanks

1st. Grab the top of each wheel with both hand and check for play
2nd Lift the front of the car ( whole car would be better) and start pulling on the steering arms check for play.
3rd grab the steering shaft check for play
4th inspect all bushings....

One by One replace the cheapest things first... go in order

+1 Get it off the ground and shake everything you can get your hands on, especially all the steering gear and move the front of each wheel in & out. Get a freind to watch closely as you move stuff. 90% you'll find it. Good luck
