Loud Clunking
I drove about 100 miles yesterday without any problems what so ever. Got home, grabbed a bite, then headed off again. I was about 100 yards out of the driveway and heard a loud clunking noise comin from the front-end. When i applied the brakes to slow it down, it stopped? From what i can tell its comin from the passenger side. Any ideas??

does it do it when you turn? if so it might be your rear end.that happened to me once and it sounded like it was coming from the front end. the gears were missing teeth and was slamming my drive shaft off of my frame

since it only does it when you are braking. check your caliper bolts.
and also check your shock bolts and top nuts.

Yea i recently had the tires rotated, and they got aligned the day it started making that noise. And it doesnt make noise when braking, it quits when brake pressure is applied. im lost at this point. Me and a buddy are gonna work on it shortly. any insight would be most appreciated! thanks
