Issue when Braking on Uneven Ground

[tomtundra]

I've had this issues for years, only happens when I'm braking on uneven ground. Normal street driving, going into a driveway, or speed bump, or intersection with a dip. If I brake while going over any of these I hear a clunk followed by a growl. Almost like the pad itself fell off and I'm trying to stop metal to metal. But braking goes back to normal after sound stops.

This issue has continued through changing pads, rotors, struts, ball joints, hubs, all front end bushings and tie rods - I'd say just about everything front end ahs been replaced but the calipers.

The Dets - suspension is stock, no lift and no wheel spacer's or adapters, but I ran Tundra wheels for years and now have a set of offset TRD's off an FJ.
Appreciate any suggestions the great 3rd Gen minds may have.
Thanks!

Think the ABS is kicking in? Mine used to kick in on bumps before I cleaned the sensors.

I once talked to a mechanic, and he said he thought sounded like the ABS. No idea how to clean the sensors - will search T4R for info. Thanks, worth a try!

They are held on with a 10mm bolt. Take them off, wiggle them out, wipe with a paper towel, and clean with electronic cleaner. Stick back in and test them.
