About a week ago I was in an accident where I spun out and went sideways. One of my calipers had seized up and I had reduced braking power. I have replaced both rear calipers and everything is basically fine now braking wise. However in the front drivers wheel well there is a clunking noise now.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what exactly to look for to narrow it down, or at the very least have any pictures of what their suspension and the surrounding area should look like until I am able to get pictures of it tomorrow during the day time so that when I look at it and can recognize anything that looks wrong right away?

I believe it could be the ball joints.

The sound is semi intermittent. It goes away when accelerating or braking, unpon releasing either pedal the sound returns. On my way home from work like half an hour ago it got much worse, and I pulled over and crawled under it. It appears that my cv axle is leaking grease and now am led to believe that the bearings in the inner boot have gone bad, hence the rotation clunking.
Maybe clunking is the wrong word but im not sure how exactly to describe it, if you've ever driven on a tire and forgotten to completely tighten the lugnuts, thats a similar sound, and I assure you that isn't the issue, I didnt even touch that wheel, and have checked it just to be sure that wasn't it, because the last time that I changed my brakes I actually did forget to tighten them..

I assumed it would be the ball joints at first because I was advised to replace them before they got worse the last time I had my rims balanced and rotated.
