Clunking noise when braking sharply

[DexterH]

Greetings from the Caribbean guys.

Seems that clunk is an L300 virus. The L300 is a very common van here. I wish there were enthusiasts here like you guys. I've had that clunking for quite some time mostly heard while rolling in traffic on slightly bumpy roads. Yes when applying brake as well I feel that clunking on the flooring but not necessarily only when applying brake.

Ive replaced all ball joints, cradle bushings, replaced ends, stablizer bar rubbers, link rubbers and new shocks as well. Bushings on the inside of the steering rack were good. After the suspension job, didnt hear the sound for a few weeks, but eventually the darn noise came back. Jacking the van doesnt help as it seems it needs to have the weight of the vehicle on the wheels to produce the noise.

Problem is, I dont have a few extra hands to 'bump/rock' the van while I'm under there. I'm glad I read all your comments and saw there are some things I can check, like the caliper and that bushing at the gopher grill (I'm clueless as to what and where that is) Is that the grill on the bumper? :)

Anyone knows what can cause a new timing belt to snap? Particularly dealing with the 4d56 and yes the timing was perfect on the engine. Was climbing uphill without load driving at 40km/h or so when it broke. I'll be working on my busted head weekend.

Thanks guys!
