Not so long ago, the car started to do a little "wink" noise on the driver side when I'm braking, and it's only getting worst..

And it's ****in' annoying you know..

Do anybody have an idea of what it could be?? I think it's the control arm bushings but I'm not sure..

Thx for any info!

Jack up that wheel, and grab it firmly. Shake it left and right, then up and down. It shouldn't move at all, but if it moves left and right, that's your ball joint, if it moves up and down, it's the wheel bearings. Also pull the grease cap and check that the locknut is tight if it will infact move up and down.
