Default EF3 making Knocking/clunking sound when braking/accelerating

Hey Guys
I have a Ef3 civic with a B16A swap in it I have just noticed that when applying the brakes at low speed i hear a knock or clunk coming from the passenger side front end (I've read a few threads and all seem to have repetative noises where this is a single knock) then after when accelerating the same noise occurs, also noticed happens occasionally whilst turning,
any input or help will be greatly appreciated as would like to have my car running mint again
Thanks

maybe your axles are messing up already

axles ...... also check to make sure all of your suspension and steering components are on tight .

Lots of things.
Could be a loose caliper bracket, tranny mount, ... you name it.

thanks been under the car all day seems everything is on tight axel has a few mm of movement and brake calliper seems to have a bit of movement might get the brakes looked at (cant remember when they were changed last), everything seems tightly in place. nothing has any rare movement or funny noise when being 'swung' on
