Front suspension sounds...Help! Sign In

I've got an '02 Honda Civic 4 door, 94k miles. Over the last week or so my front right suspension has developed a kind of knocking sound. I can hear it the easiest when I'm coasting at around 15-25 mph over that speed it goes away. If I brake the sound immediately goes away. The knocking speed is dependent on how fast I'm going...faster speed = more knocking (not necessarily louder though)
The tires are in good shape and have no obstructions/rocks/and are not flat.

Any thoughts?

Tricky to guess without total inspection. Try hoisting drive wheels and spin by hand for CV joint and bearing problems. Remove wheel(s) and inspect for brake problems. Any are likely or perhaps something unseen with tire and wheel itself,

Just had an Escort in today with the same symptoms. Found a loose caliper. Actually, a bolt was missing.
