strange sound

Hi!


I'm C4, '95 owner from Croatia(Europe) and I would be very grateful if someone could help me resolve my problem. While I was driving yesterday a sound started appearing in the front left area; something like a metal “clap” and it can be heard in irregular intervals. The sound appears every time the front left side of the car is swung, but I cannot precisely determine whether it is coming from the shock absorber or something else near it. Has anyone had a similar problem?
