This usually means the stabilizer bushings are worn out. You can put vehicle on ramps, grab sway bar by bushing and try to see if you can wiggle it, if so this would verify they are worn and need to be replaced. At a shop this is around a $300 repair. Let me know if you have questions or if there is anything else I can do to help, thanks.

The clunking knocking comes from front area only when I go over bumps or uneven roads... it's not struts?Or the control arm?

It could be but about a 90% it is stabilizer bushings.
It looks like manual doesn't have photos but grab stabilizer bar near the bushings and see if you can find play, if so replace. Let me know how it goes or if you have questions, thanks.

I think having brakes checked would be a good place to start.

Think it could be the calipers?

No, probably just worn pads or debrist stuck between pads and rotors.
