3rd Generation Clunking noises when brake/corner

Could someone help me pin point the problems my car has?

Brake's clunking when moving very slow 2-5mpg and slight press on brake and release. Also when slow turning.

When the CVC joints wear out they start clattering on turns. I might guess that they would be loose enough to shift (and clunk) on a slow brake but I've never heard of it before. I would be more suspicious of any worn rubber bearing or ball joint in the suspension having this effect. Does it do anything when you start from a dead stop?

Yeah well when I release the brake (to start from a dead stop), it clunks too.

^ Your ball joint would be my guess. If you lift your front end hold the tire on top and bottom at the same time and move it, then hold the tire of the left and right and wiggle it. If you hear clunking, or really huge movements while wiggling it, ur joints or lower control arm, need a replacing

It's intact. The bushing doesn't look broken.

I heard in another thread that the ABS might does that to the brake when cold or something, so my balls joints might not be bad.
