Problem with a clunking noise coming the driver side when applying brakes at low speeds I don't know
First i'll start with what i've done with the car. Its a 98 honda civic ex 4dr
JDM B18c engine swap (GSR)
USDM Axles with abs (O'reilys special)
Stock ex front brakes with axis ultimate pads and brembo blank rotors
skunk 2 frong camber kit
tein flex coilover kit
rear brake conversion from junk yard
BF goodrich SS brake lines
Here are the problems:
Some times with i'm driving the steering under accleation or braking it will turn a little on its own. But the car is in alignment. An example is i'll take a corner and when i turn the wheel i can let my hands go and apply the gas and it still turns as if i was steering. But it does this sometimes and not others
Rear brake calipers are stuck which has caused my axis pads to wear away in a few months. They squeal when i'm driving but stop when i apply the brakes. Could they just be stuck or do i need new calipers. Though they are rusted and i got them from a junk yard
Now for the clunking noise in the front. It occurs at low speeds under 15 only when i have the clutch all the way in, and then when i apply the brake. It sounds like its coming from the brakes or the tranny case. I disconnected the camber arm from the brakes on the driver side. And i was able to move the whole brake assembly and when i would do this i would hear a similar noise coming from the tranny case like when i was driving but not quite the same.

For the rear, your calipers may be seized. for As for the front, try to tighten your axel nut a little more. I had the same problem, and found out the nut had like two more threads.

When I put the car in reverse, then start to go forward, I apply the brakes and the car makes a clun
