Make sure every thing is tight. Do you have ABS? It might be malfuctioning and kicking in early.

jack the car up so bolth front wheels are off the ground check for play from front to back front being the front of the car its sounds like the lower control are bushings may be bad i have had the same problem but also check play in other directions if they are bad 50$ gets you all the energy suspension bushings for the front of the car and like 130$ does the whole car !!! i love mine and they make no squeek sound

Just one clunk per brake engagement? Try looking at the back end. just jack it up and see if there is any play in any direction.

yes the calipers are supposed to have alittle play. if not and they were tight the pads would rub on the rotor all day, wearing down the pads and rotors.

just change your damn axle. sometimes when an axle is broken it doesn't always click when you or turn(or may not yet). espescially when the boot is not broken or the cv joints recently have broken.

buy the cv joint and i'll charge you a very small fee to install it.

i have the same problem with my ek, but its because of my suspension (D2 racing specs) they put alot of stress on my axles. im guessing its your axle. they dont make the clunk noise at high speeds, only at very very low speeds 0-10 mph, and while i park and u-turns

check your ball joints upper and lowers will make a cluck noise when braking. just make sure all your suspension is tight. also tie rods also

you caliper bracket shouldent have any play make sure the two bolts that bolt the bracket to the knuckle are tight and torqued to spec. also how old are your rotors? does your steering wheel vibrate when you hear this noise?

Your calipers should only move side to side, not front to back.
