Have you checked/fed your trunk monkey lately?

Did you replace your caliper bolts when you removed them?

They stretch when torqued down and should be replaced each time they are removed. This could be the cause of your clunking.

It does not make sense though...why would the noise stop if I engage the clutch?

Why is the noise not apparent as soon as I drive the car, it has to warm up to make the noise?

MP, you sure have an uncanny knack for changing the subject!

Sorry about that, I was watching tv and reading this thread when a trunk monkey commercial came on. Hey at least I hope it put a smile on your faces

Oh my god, I love the trunk monkey commercials. Well played, sir.

You guys should get a room...seriously....thanks for ripping my thread and the help.

A trunk monkey is a great investment. I'll bet they can replace CV joints

...So what's THAT supposed to mean??

Nobody’s ‘ripping’ anything---just trying to introduce a little levity to the situation.

A sense of humor, my friend. Life’s more fun with one than without.

If I were you, I’d put development of one of those high on my priority list.
