Was my car built in Soviet Russia?
My car is a junk heap. 100% stock.
Start the car this morning.. 2 seconds after the start up.. "BRRTRTRTRTRTRT!!!" wow, wtf was that? Sounded like flywheel chatter and I drive an auto... okay.
Put it in reverse. "CLUNK"... wow talk about a hard shift.
Start backing out of driveway.. "click.... click... click.." apply brakes lightly then "squeeeeeak".. let off brakes then again.. "click clunk clunk click clunk"..
brakes again while slowly backing out and down off my drive way, then a combination of the two at the same time. "click, clunk squeealclunkclunkclick.. SQUEAAL SQUEALL" WOW!! what the ****??
Then car goes into drive, what do I get? Rear axle CLICK, vrooooom.
Seriously, who built this car and what was it made of? Spare scrap metal from Russian tanks from world war two?
Brakes are brand new, rotors and pads.. Have about 3K miles on them.
Sorry for picking on you Russian members.

What type of pads and rotors did you put on? If you don't bed them down properly when installing they will make noises until they heat up. For instance, I had some porterfield R4 pads with cross drilled and slotted rotors and man would those things chatter and squeal when cold.
Don't know what to say about the clunk other than get the tranny serviced (flush and refill) and see if that helps and of course you know what the clicking noise is and how to fix that.

Even if I did get a new pumkin, that should make things even better.
BTW my brakes are factory OEM all around.

what I'm trying to get across is that maybe when you were returning your car to stock something wasn't done right.....like the rear differential. I don't see how you can blame your "100% stock" car for making noises.
Have you checked to see if you have debris between your pads/rotors? Do you have lube on your shims?

Everything was dealer done except the brakes were done at my friends shop.. Everything was greased properly, infact the parts came pre-greased from the dealer and he used a high pressure air gun and made sure there was no dust and debris..
My car used to be all 100% modded out but I am fully stock and can guarantee everything was done right... Car is going pretty soon so goodluck to the dealer that takes the trade.
