Default Clunking when Braking

Recently when I slow down and brake as well as turn the wheel to the right, I notice a distinct clunk and almost a crack when I near the speed of 25 mph and make a slight turn. It is a new noise on my 85 f150 and is not overly concerning but I'd like to know why it is making the noise. It sounds to be coming from the underside of the truck possibly in the middle to the front section. If anyone has experienced this before or knows anything about it, please comment. Thanks

You're going to have to crawl under there and look around, if possible put it on jackstands so you can run it while it's stationary and see if you can spot something moving. Look at your motor/tranny mounts to see if one's come apart.

Might be ball joints
