That's what I meant, actually. Not the strut top, the upper nut on the housing, under the cover.

Guys...I figured out my "clunk" issue. I removed the brake pads and the noise is gone.
They must move a little as the rotor starts and stops.
Thanks,
Mike

Yes this is a noise that drives some people crazy.
If you drive your car forward and repeatedly press the brake, the pads dont move and dont make a noise they are hard against one side of the 'pad cavity'
If you reverse and apply the brake, the first time the brakes will make a noise as the pads move to the opposite end of their "cavity".
backup & stop again - no noise.
Now chage dir & move forward & apply, they will make the noise again on the first press..
