Wierd noises

Have any of you guys had this problem?

Everytime I brake my car makes some funky clanking noise. I checked out the caliper and all the components behind the wheel and they all seem to be fine and tight. I hit up munky works and sean told me it might be my bushings.... any thoughts?

Clunking Sound

I get the clunking sound when I brake hard also and I hear it from the front left side.

Took apar the caliper, thought maybe the pad was moving forward under heavy braking, but still get the sound.

I am thinking now it has nothing to do with the brakes but some component inside the engine compartment.

I thought I was the only one with this sound.

The only mods I have in this car is the JWT pop charger/Z Tube and Injen SES Exhaust.

I checked the mounting on the pop charger, intake, etc and everything is rock solid.

mine is from the right side....only mod is my h-tech and pop charger.......these aren't really the problem. Apparently its the bushings on my mounting bracket that holds the sway bar? or something like that. I'm a total noob when it comes to these things.

you sure not the oem wheels, if you guys still got them on. the clunking sound is like mines when i had oem wheels on and the only thing i had modded at that time was my short ram intake, and stech drop springs. check to see if your right side wheel is not warped or out of balanced, i could be wrong? but cannot be the bushings the cars still new.

It could just be a recall on those back bearings, mine had aloud sound like that and it was a recall, just take it to the dealership and they'll fix it free
