It is very posiable that it is the breakes when i checked the ball joints i put new pads on it and the clunk was still there but i did notice that the pad thats sits inside the caliper was getting hung up so i cleaned it off a littel.. Could this still be my prob, and would u sugesta new caliper or clean it off with a file or sand paper
