First, open the hood and use your hands to push down on each corner of the vehicle to "bounce" the car (this is so you don't dent the fender/hood, push on the strut tower or something stout), you should be able to determine if it's a strut just by the noise and location. If it's not a strut then lift up the vehicle and start pulling around on suspension, steering, exhaust components until you find out what has play in it and is making noise, or take it to a shop and have them do it. Usually pretty obvious when you find the right piece.
