    Slow to stop clunk noise identification

    When I'm slowing down to make a complete stop there is a small clunk.

    It's at Audi for an inspection and they said the bushings are OK.
    Bushings look ok. Could it be the link arms? or something else to check?

    In the front.
    When I'm going to a full stop just before I'm completely stoped as if the wheels have stopped moving but the body didn't and it clunks forward. It's not audible, it's more a feeling.

    Are you watching the RPM's when it happens? Maybe it's a transmission issue, or the shaking from engine mounts?

    Rpm is stable doesn't look like there is any slipping.

    Engine mounts? Trans mount?

    Haha same thing is happening to my car also, its at 45k miles. When I am braking and right before I come to a stop, its like a clunk forward. The harder I brake, the harder the clunk at the end. Im curious as to know what the problem is.

    Try backing up and see if it also happens when coming to a stop.
