Clunking at slow speed

Hi All, don't know if I'm in the right place but I need help! Fl2 clunk from the passenger side at slow speeds, gets wierd here it goes when I brake but then changes to being there when I brake and not being there when I'm driving slow. And now it makes a grinding noise when turning left from the same area or if I mount the passenger side on a curb it makes the same grinding noise only other symptom is at high speed if I brake the steering wheel shakes a little. So it's got brakes that are no more than 3 months old and I've taken it to a gaffa a and they said everything is right and safe. Could be cheap brakes . Any ideas or something to help many thanks

Check both front road springs for a break, should be fairly clear to see if you use a torch with the wheels turned full lock and have a look.

I was thinking it might be the anti-roll bar drop link. I had a similar noise yeas ago on a Signum, and it turned out to be a broken link catching in different positions and therefore not constant in its symptoms.

PS I hope all the wheel nuts are tight after brake change. Also I would have a good look around where they worked. (you might have an extra spanner in the works) FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

Thanks....I took apart the brake caliper and greased it all up and cleaned it and the knocks cleared up for maybe 2 hours then returned so I'm thinking a sticky caliper? But the grinding on left turns and over a curb etc still remained. At a loss

Thank you changed the pads fixed the clunk and the drop link and track rod end were loose that fixed the grinding noise. Good shout.
