CALIPER BAD???
Okay, so my PMS fever flared up, I havent done any upgrades in a while so i decided to improve my brakes..Keep in mind NO problems with brakes just improvement...Installed Hawks LTS pads and Power Slot rotors,inspected slide pins and cleaned,regreased...Test drive, 35mph stop mildly 8 times, 2 hard stops from 45mph,let cool....Ok that was easy and breaks allready feel better....next day,go to town.. Drivers side front is sticking!!!!
..truck pulling hard left, smoking(left front tire)eased her home,appx 10 miles
...Havent had a chance to pull tire yet..Caliper bad???did i just ruin a set of Pads?????

The clunk could be the sway bar bushings or the bushings on the sway bar end links that tie it together.
