Please help diagnose - "Click" when braking

Group wisdom appreciated.

When I hit the brakes reasonably hard from about 30 mph to come to a stop there is a noticable click/clunk from the front of the car.

Any help diagnosing greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Click or clunk? Does it happen under braking or when you've stopped?

What about when you accelerate again? Does it happen again?

Possibly front sway bar links, they are known for premature failure.

doesn't sound good. check the caliper bolts and the pads...could be that

somethings loose up there. don't let it get too loose or you could face more serious issues. not sure if that's the culprit, but a possibility.
