Default horrible cracking noise!

Hey everyone, I've got a problem. My '00 RS is currently making a lot of bad noise. It's comming from somewhere in the front right of the car and it makes kind of a cracking noise when going over bumps and things. The car and be in neutral or a drive gear and the same effect. Also makes this noise when braking. Any help is gladly appreciated.

Does it happen when you're stopped and rock the car (like jump up and down on the door sill to get some rocking action)?

How about in reverse?

Suspension is stock except for springs, I installed some 5zigen springs a several months ago. I haven't tried to see if it would do it sitting still by rocking it yet, I'll go try that now. I also have not tried it in reverse but it does it in neutral and all the forward gears so I assume it's not transmission related. Thanks!!!

While moving, right?

When you bopunce on it, have someone outside near the front if it does make the sound. That way the sound can be isolated.

If it happens moving forward at a walking pace, have a friend also walk beside the car and see if they can hear it.
