2003 Ford Taurus Engine spudder sound when first started

When the car is started it sounds like it's spuddering...almost as if it is struggling to start. The engine does not sound that smooth, small clicking, not loud, but it is there...what could this be?

Also, when the car is being steered to the left or the right there are clicks, this also happens going over speed bumps, is this the struts?

Thanks.
