Clunk, Clunk Clunkity Clunk

[swfcdan]

hi all, past few days ive developed a clunk when i brake. It only seems to occur when im turning left (usually on to my drive way).

As i pull in and brake, just as im about to the stop wit the wheel pretty much full lock to the left i can hear a clunk, and the brake pedal seems to give a reaction, feels like a raises then drops its hard to explain.

does anyone have or had any similar symptoms like this before. could it be the calliper sticking?

May be a lower ball joint

Id be tempted to get it checked before it gets worse, IS's are prone to lower ball joints

and my problem seems the same when turning left/slowing down and the noise in the footwell.

well there goes my student loan

thanks for the advice Chris, does anyone have a rough idea on costs?

Ball joint itself if it is that is £57 +vat
