Noise is not easily reproduciable and occurs during Breaking. Front end of car clunks and movement is felt as well. Any ideas?

check if your lower control arms are loose. sometimes the bushings wear out and when you brake the arms will shift and cause a clunking noise.

Any noise during acceleration from a dead stop or only during braking?

how about turning? i know my car did that when one of the stablizer bars broke (they attach to the sway bar) could be a ball joint, tie rod, something in your breaks, strut mount. strut itself. so many things. i would just look down for the obvious breaks. stablizers break and easy to look for. could even be a wheel bearing, but those tend to groan when going out.
