Hi, so I have had my front brake discs and pads changed and I have also had O/S/F wheel bearing changed and O/S/F strut top mount changed and both front ball joints changed and O/S inner CV Boot changed. However, since this as been done there is a clunking noise coming from the front driver side when coming to a stop. I have took my car back to the garage a number of times and they have re changed my brake pads and discs and also put a new brake fitting kit on and a new caliper, but after a couple of miles this noise comes back. No idea what is happening or what it could be. Any suggestions?

Are you able to get a recording of this noise? I am wondering if they ordered the correct parts such as the rotor. If the offset is slightly off due to the incorrect part then it will cause clunking noises due to excess clearance.

However, this clearly a guess at this point but hearing the noise we may be able to better help you pinpoint the issue. Were all the parts replaced trying to fix this issue or did the noise come after they were replaced?
Thanks
