Default 2012 C70 knocking from the from front end on acceleration and breaking

I'm experiencing clunking noises from the front end when I accelerate from a stop and when I break at low speeds. Car handles fine. noises started after a very hard braking event. For the most part there are no noises when I hit bumps. I suspect suspension?? Help

I'd have the suspension inspected as well as the brake caliper bracket. Things that come to mind include control arm bushings, sway bar and end link bushings, strut mounts, tie rod ends, steering rack mounts as well as motor mounts/torque rods.
