Check your tires. More than likely they are "cupped" or worn irregularly. This is usually caused by worn out suspension components and/or the car being out of alignment.

This same thing happened to me when I replaced pads and rotors.

Then I adjusted the emergency/hand brake as per the Bentley manual, and the thunking went away.
