Front Thumping Noise Question

Front Thumping Noise Question
On a '99 Max SE with 85K miles, I get a thumping noise from the front when braking straight ahead (not turning). The brakes were done about a year ago. I'm thinking it might be the front strut upper mount/bearing. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.

My friend brought his car over last evening. I was preapred to check out the whole suspension after test riding the car and hearing the 'pop' he described after coming to a stop and letting off the brake.
Simple fix but serious implications. The wheel nuts on the passenger left front wheel were very loose. Three you could turn by hand and the other 2 had about 10 ft lbs of torque on them. Torqued them to spec and no more popping. Cant imagine if he rode on this another 2 weeks and the wheel may have fallen off or broken the studs then fell off.
