Already changed out the CV-joints, the lower right ball joint, brakes are in good shape, no noise from the bearing.
It only does it when I am applying the brakes and coming to a stop, I hear the noise at around 10mph and under...
Clicking popping noise coming from front right side of 98 mazda 626?
I have had this problem before and it was the lower control arm jerking back and forth. I replaced it and the bushings around it and it went away. GOOD LUCK!

And now for a really dumb answer! Have you checked the tire for an imbedded object?
Warped rotor, brake pad clips missing, Brake pads themselves.
on some cars when installing pads the shoes come with a lubrication tube as the pads adjust or be come worn the caliper maybe allowing the the pads to move around. so you should take care to look at the inside shoe as well as the outside. sometimes caliper slides will stick and wear out one shoe fast than the other.cause slack and possibly your clatter noise at slow speed.
Have you had the brakes worked on lately? Check the brake pads. Some imports had a problem with the disc pads %26quot;walking%26quot; in the mounts. This was caused by the machining of the rotors being done in the normal manner. This causes a spiral like cut in the rotor that works like threads on a screw. The spirals move the pad in the caliper mounts. Pads move as far as they can, then, like a stripped screw, snap back to normal causing a click sound and starting the movement over again.
Some pads have ears that must be crimped or squeezed onto the caliper to limit movement. OR you get the rotor's final finish cut done with a rotary disc that eliminates the spiral cuts.
If it is only on braking, it is likely the brakes... might want to check the rear bearings and brakes too as sometimes sounds from the rear can transmit to the front and fool you...
Good luck...
