Noticed it today when I was just cruising around town doing errands. At a low speed when I brake to a stop I hear a clunk that sounds like its underneath me. Or when I am just moving slowly in 2nd gear I can hear in go clunk, clunk, clunk ect. I also get a shake at high speeds which is random, its there sometimes and others its not. could this be a Axle, ball joint, control arm? Gonna have to take it off the road till I figure its safe to be drivin the thing!! Hope its not motor mounts or the tranny mount!

On your break pads, there are clips. It sounds like one of these clips has come off / loosened. I had the same problem when i did my DS rotor & Pref. Pad conversion. It clunks in compliance with the revolution of the wheel, Yeah?

Act like your're doing a break job, (Yes, take them out) and re-set them into the caliper. Check the cilips for damage, And if needed, get some clip-clap grease from your local auto joint.
