This just started about two days ago.
When the car is moving (not necessarily under acceleration) I'll hear this soft tapping, clunking from the front right side. It doesn't occur in regular intervals, and is pretty soft, I can only hear it if I turn off the radio.

The sound doesn't seem associated with bumps or turning the wheel, as I can hear it when I'm just going in a straight line.

I've just had the ST sway bars put on, but from what I've read, this doesn't seem like the sound it would make if they were rubbing.

Any ideas?

loose control arm? CV joint?

It's definately independent of RPM. I can check if it's the wheel bearing by jacking up the car and spinning the wheels ya?
For CV joint, do I check the boot? Or was that where I jack up the car, take the wheel and try to move it around?
