Re: noise from the right front section
Probably tie rod ends or ball joints. Jack vehicle up, remove tie rod ends and turn the wheel to see if the noise is still there. If the noise is gone, tie rods are bad, if noise is still there, ball joints are the problem.

Re: noise from the right front section
Tie rods are easy enough to check and replace. See here...
http://www.autoclinix.com/Mercury/TieRods.html My '97 had a "pop" noise when I turned too sharp. In my case it was the upper ball joints. You might check the sway bar end links as well.

Re: noise from the right front section
It's probably a little late now to help out mpfilms but this link...
http://www.autoclinix.com/Mercury/BallJoints.html has good info on replacing the upper ball joints yourself. I replaced mine and my front-end "clunkage" went away.
