Clunk on front right corner when braking in reverse

[pope]

Driving to uni this morning has something fall off whilst driving, heard it drop and hit the car a few times.

Now when going backwards, if i brake then release the front right hand corner makes a "clang" noise.

Noise only happens when you release.

Have checked all bolts and can't find anything missing.

Checked.

Both bushings are there and everything is nice and tight.
