CLunking sounds when stopping

[Giallou P5]

Happens sometime not all the time? Im thinking its the brakes. its only when i press down on them. ALSO any of you people have a pulsating feel when driving quick and applying the brakes???


If so (any of the 2) what is it and does the fact. warranty cover it

Abs?

Could be the ABS working or the rotors are warped...

If the car has been making these sounds since you bought it, then chances are it's just the ABS working. ABS pulsates and could even be described as "clunking" if you aren't used to it. However, if this is something that has recently started occuring, then I would have the rotors checked (warped). Does the clunking slow down as your speed slows (during braking of course)? If so, have those rotors checked. Hope this helps.

it does slow down, the slower i go, the less it happens. Feels like the car is skipping while braking. I had ABS on my honda and i am used to the pulsating. BUT the clunking just started today

sounds like mildly warped rotors

Guess it could also be tie rods. I've seen a few people have problems with them.

i have the exact same problem, when im slowing down or taking a corner at low speed i hear a clunk/cracking sound coming from the passenger front of the car. i think its the tie rod, not totally sure im gonna take it in to mazda since its still under warantee.
