Could be anything, suspension arms, bearings, anti roll bar, brakes, shocks etc etc. without examining the car it's just guess work.

If you don't know what you're looking at underneath a car you'll need it looking at by someone who does.

It could be any one of a number of things...

Balljoints, jack the car up and rock the road-wheel (steering locked, then unlocked) every-which-way,
to see if there's any slack in the control arms and track-rods

Bushes, will need levering to show slack

Drop-links, can be visually inspected

Brake-pads and calipers, dismantle and rebuild with new pads and bolts.

Jim
