Default Clacking front end stops when brakes applied???

Hi all... I'm new to the forum and need your help!! I ahave a 93 GMC jimmy 4.3 (W) 2 wheel dirve. I have a clacking noise coming from the front right side. the clacking goes away when I step on the brakes. I checked the pads to make sue they hadn't come loose and there is no play in the ball joints, also just put new bearings in the front end due to a bad humming and thought it might fix the clacking to but no such luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Thanx Detroit, You were bang on the money!! I can grab the caliper and shake it around!! The best part is that the bushing kit is only $15..!! I was expecting something expensive..lol. Thanx again for all your help.

Cheers
Brad
