Re: Clunk when braking in reverse

My first guess based on my own experiences is to check the brake hardware, especially the bracket-to-knuckle bolts. It sound to me like you may have a loose one, or may be missing one.

Pull the wheel off and verify that you have 2 bolts that hold the caliper bracket to the knuckle, and then verify that you have 2 bolts holding the caliper to the bracket. Then make sure they are all tight. Rinse and repeat for each wheel of the car.
