Take your tire off, and check the sway bar end link. If you should be able to pivot it, but if you yank back and forth you need a new one. If not check for play in ball joints. Also a thick rust ridgeon the brake rotor would cause a noise, but more of a rubbing noise on the backing plate. Hope this helped!

Cheers!
