Default Clink! (...clank?)

Here's the deal. Got a 2000 v6 Honda Accord with 178??? miles on it.

Anyway, the car rides smooth until I hit a pothole (seemingly with the right front wheel). Anyway, I'm hearing a clinking sound whenever my right front (maybe left as well) hit rough pavement.

Also, if I'm doing 60ish on the highway and hit the brakes, I get a bit of steering vibs (could be unrelated to the ckinking).

Idea's? Like I said, it feels fine on smooth pavement....but it's always a drag when the wheels fall out from under so I don't want to drive it like this too long.

Thanks all!

Michael

A - I solved mine on a '93 by new front struts


B - steering wheel vibes while braking at speed are usually warped brake rotors. I just keep using 'em untill I need new brake pads,
then the brake shop resurfaces them or demands new rotors.
