the clunking noise could be where the brake pads are loose in the caliper,take the wheels off and make sure the pads are`nt loose in caliper,if they are they might need to have shims fitted,take it back to where pads fitted and get them to have a look for you

Is the noise coming from front or rear ? The noise may from some where else apart from brakes i.e susp arm / bushes , susp.strut mountings , coil spring etc . You would really be better to get it road tested or checked out to identify where noise is coming from .
