clunking and rattling in front end

I've searched everywhere and all the clunking noises I have seen described seem to be a bad strut mount or heat shield. This is not that. I hear it a little at start up and then when going over small bumps. Seems to be only coming from the front right end of the car. And doesn't necessarily happen when I'm turning. My thoughts are a broken mount of some sort. To give you a little history of the car its a 94 rx7 in chaste white and only has 16000 original miles on it. I had to pick it up in LA and drive it 360 miles home and the I didn't notice the clunking noise till the next day. I didn't push the car at all on the way home, we're talkin 70 mph the whole way home on cruise. Then I noticed it wen pulling out of my driveway. Any thoughts?

Here's a picture of it just because

Check your strut mounts/bushings at the top of the strut assembly.
