Default Clunk when braking

Started getting this clunk when I brake hard, sounds like it is coming from under the dash on the passenger side. It won't do it if I really ease on the brake and gets louder the harder I brake. I just replaced my front rotors and pad like 2 weeks ago. Anybody know what the problem could be?

Double check to make sure your caliper and bracket arent coming loose again. Had that happen to me once, and Ive used a dab of locktight ever sense.

Yep^^^ The caliper mounting bolts are backing out. You really have to crank on because I had the same problem

Yup you guys are right. Just checked em and they were backed out almost 2 full turns!!! Definitely need some loctite for those because I did torque them down to specification when I put them back on. My driver side ones were all tight though.

Don't need those things backing out on me driving down the interstate!

Appreciate the help fellas
