I was experiencing a random clunk or pop sensation from the front passenger wheel, most often when moving the car after having been parked for a while [overnight or a few days not relevant].

I took it in and watched the [reputable independent] mechanic perform several investigations and tests around the suspension, sway bar, rotor, caliper, and wheel. He said I don't have brake dampeners [had he been the one that changed the pads there would be some]. What I am experiencing is the pad breaking loose from its seating on the rotor. Or words to that effect.

I have the 2004 2.7
The front pads have a few thousand miles on them

I read that my model year doesn't have dampeners.

What would cause my front brake pad to 'stick' to the rotor? Do I need to investigate further or tend to something?
