I'd like to ask a follow on question. My bearings make a slight clunk sound when the rotation stops. When I grab the rotor and go in a forward or backwards rotation at each stop or change in direction there is a clunk. Not a huge clunk, but a little one. I thought it might be the brake pads so I removed the calipar but the sound is still there. Is this normal? I don't think it is a ball joint because they were recently replaced and also because I'm not putting that much force on the spindle.
