Re: clunk sound whenever i brake

Start with the Basics.

Bleed the system completely.
Check for leaks.
Check the rear brake shoes
Check front brake pads
Check front calipers securing bolts, they might be loose.
Check rear brake shoes configuration, ie look if you see any springs adjuster or parts missing.
