Why do I hear a clunking sound when I brake?
A clunking noise when the brakes are applied is typically an indication of wear and damage to various parts. It can be caused by a number of things from a seized brake caliper or an extremely loose wheel bearing to worn out ball joints and/or steering components.
Do bad ball joints make noise when braking?
When a shock or strut goes bad, you may hear a thumping or clunking noise when you brake. This might also be accompanied by your vehicle nose-diving during braking. Common reasons for this to happen: If a ball joint is beginning to fail, you may notice a clunking noise coming from the front wheels.

What makes a clunk noise right before a full stop?
TL;DR Got new brakes/rotors/passenger rear control arm bushing/tires/alignment ~5 months ago, HEARING a thump/clunk in the front right before the “full stop”, also FEELING a thump/clunk in the steering wheel depending on the bump/speed/degree of turn. Both of those started happening within the past month.
Why does my car make a thump clunk noise?
With the tie-rod ends, the way I previous explained the problem is almost the exact opposite of that sound. Instead of giving it too much gas too quickly and having the thump/clunk sound, it’s now, as I said, right before the final inertia of slowing down, a thump/clunk sound from the front of the car.
