Where is it coming from?

Sounds like bushings to me.

It's coming from the front...passenger side i think....it seems that when i push the breaks hard and quick the noise dissapears for the time being that i have my foot hard on the break..but when u stop normally the noise is very apparent...what are bushings...price? do it yourselfability?

If the noise is coming from up front, it could be from the Tension Control (TC) rod bushings, you can check yourself to see if they are split and leaking out viscous fluid.

PDM Racing has the Whiteline polyurethanes for $50/pair, which is all you need. They're under the Suspension section.

EDIT: Forgot to include this, they are do-it-yourself if you have a drill press, or a vice (which is harder.)

Well, I found out the problem, the clunking noise. The wheel lug nuts were extremely loose. This thought never came to my mind because who would be stupid enough not to tighten lugnuts properly. Anyways I just bought this car and assumed things like that would be tight..The person that sold it to me is probably weak as hell since i could remove the nuts without a tool. I'm just glad my tires didnt fall off.
