Assuming brake pads are good, check for calipers being frozen (even on one slide bushing) by looking for uneven or diagonal wear, and of course check the various bolts are properly torqued down.

thankyou very much it really sounds like that could be it at the time i checked my brakes i took the brakes of and they were diagonaly worn out, i can move the caliper a fraction as well.

if this is the case "what do you think needs to be done to fix this issue" because the clunk ****s me and it could be a safety issue maybe.
