When i hit the breaks, not initially, but as i near a stop, i hear a repetitive clunk or thump sound consistent with a full rotation of the wheels... thoughts?

bad rotors? thanks from Knoxville

 

Possibly, check pads too. Is it front? Rear? Left? Right? Its only when braking right? Not just driving slow?

 

i just had the same thing. it was my front u joints can you wiggle your drive shaft?

 

Sounds like axle shaft u joints. Mine does the same thing and mine are shot.

 

Pads are good. Not sure where it sounds like its coming from, front or rear. Yes its only when breaking.

 

No play in drive shaft...

 

There's a TSB (NUMBER: 05-05-00) that deals with clunking while coming to a stop, but before I go any further what rear axle do you have? The TSB is for 97-99 8.25 axles for those interested.

 

May be the wife hitting her brake on the passenger side!!HHA

 

Id find out where its coming from first, try braking while a friend of yours is listening closely from the side of the road. Both sides. Check your front axleshaft ujoints for play. Its only audible right? You can't feel it?

 

Cracked rotor, loose hardware in a drum, cracked drum. I'd start by taking stuff apart.
