Default Pass side clunk

Im experiencing a clunk coming from the pass side brake area when first startin out in the morning. It only clunks a couple times and then quits. Ive already replaced the axle ujoints so hopefully i dont have a bad one. One thing that i noticed is that the past 2 times i washed it...it clunks consistently for about the first 50 yards. Slight brake pressure makes it stop though. Any ideas?

That's what I was thinking. The pads look decent but not sure about the rotors. I'm gonna replace them anyways. Any other ideas?

Not if the ball joints are new. Mine acted similarly and that was what was wrong. I guess it could be ball joints if your luck is really bad... but I think it wouldn't be so reactive to the brakes if that was the case.
