HI Everyone

This just started a few weeks ago, I figured maybe brake pad sticking so I noticed
I needed new brakes, 73000km CDN 2012 Ram 1500 outdoorsmen. I replaced both rotors and pads, napa ultra for rotors and premium pads, I pulled pushed everything found no play, also the caliper on the right side has the same amount of play?
So this clunk is random, I hear it from the left side of the truck but can feel it in the brake pedal and steering wheel Im thinking sway bar bushings.

Any ideas would be great, I also wiggled the steering shaft at the RAC and there is some play there but would the Rac move under braking?

I had the same clunk when applying the brakes it turned out to be the brake pads anti rattle clips. The metal gets weak and should always be replaced when doing the brakes. Hope this helps
