Clunk when breaking
Anyone experienced or know what it could be, when applying my brake I heard this CLUNK sound. It seems to be coming from the drivers side(front). I had replaced my calipers and pads about 2 months ago.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Make sure the caliper is not loose from the carrier. or make sure your carrier isn't loose as well.

I had a similar issue. It ended up being a broken/split FCAB.
