I have noticed a loud clunk coming from what sounds to be the passenger wheel well when weight shifts forward during braking. It almost sounds like a wrench hitting an inflated tire, kind of a hollow pop.
Not sure of it's a bad bushing, suspension component, or braking component.
It's not every time I brake, though, just when I brake moderately hard after the weight has shifted backwards at some point before breaking. It's almost like it has to be "loaded" to happen.
For example, say I was to accelerate hard, drive for a few blocks at a steady speed, then brake moderately hard, it would clunk. However, if I got off the brakes and then braked moderately hard again, it would not pop again.
It's not just acceleration that can "load" it, either, It happens after the weight shifts going over a speed bump or going up an incline.
Here is a crappy video showing me brake when the car is "loaded" with a pop, then braking again with no pop:
Anyone else notice this or have an idea what is broken?
I have gotten used to the clunks from the transmission (manual), but this seems like a major issue.
