noise from wheel area on pick-up

Hi guys, Would like to wish you all a happy new year and hope to clarify a little problem i have with the old banger (no not my wife, the car!)
After coming to a stop at junctions etc, i get a slight noise (sort of clunk) and it seems to be coming from the drivers wheel area, i think it may be the cv joint but just wondered if this is a common problem. I'm planning on changing the driveshaft as about 6mths ago i managed to brake an engine mount and wondered if the engine dropping has damaged the shaft or cv joint. its not yet a major problem but i can see it costing money if it breaks or collapses whilst out n about.
The noise is on pick-up not stopping.
Many thanks for your time and advice guys

BTW its 99 2.0 hdi if that makes any difference.
