Exclamation loud clunking sound from passenger side

so i recently changed my clutch on my 8 and after a couple of days i noticed a loud popping noise coming from my passenger front wheel. I can be slowly be moving and when i hit the brakes, clunk!! its getting worse now so i jacked up the car and checked to see if anything was broken, loose but nothing, everything looks fine. Its hard to explain the noise but i can say its really loud. when im driving on the road i can hear it popping every once in a while. Any input will help since i cant afford to take it to the dealership

Looks fine or is fine? Did you check torque on caliper, engine mount, and wheel nuts?

torque your wheel lugs to 100 ft lbs and report back results.

I'll have to wait till tomorrow to torque them down since my tools are at work. What are the correct torque specs on the end links ?
