    Could some of this brake "clunking" be loose calipers, or maybe the parking brake shoes are out of whack in the back. (yeah, that rhymes).

    Well, my clunking followed me even after the dealer replaced the brakes. I assume they would have at least commented on that at the time. On the other hand, we are talking about a dealership...

    I'm going to go look at the transmission mounts, though. I also see that the non-threadjacked discussion has become active again, so I'll go re-read that, too...

    Anyway, sorry for the threadjack. The original original thread was about a chirping brake pedal! Sooooo, anyway, we're not talking about that kind of all-over squeaking that the brakes do when they're just at the edge of holding you at a stop? eg, the noise doesn't go away when you really stomp on the brakes?
