98 Altima Loud Thumping Noise from Right front Suspension.

New front brake pads a couple of months ago. Everything looked fine at that time. No leaks or anything. Recenty while driving, I am hearing a thumping noise assumably from the right front wheel well area. The noise is most noticable during deceleration or coasting and stops when I use the brakes or accelerate the vehicle. Any help would be appreciated

Check the front drive axle, it sounds like it might be worn, make sure the caliper is tight.
