Very strange clunking from driver side tire - everything tried so far no go? (2007) - Toyota Yaris Forums

Do you happen to know if the brake pads have a diagonal slot cut into them?
Like this:

I've only seen once before where a brake pad like that followed the groove of the rotor out and made occasional clunk,clunk,clunk noise on turn. One pad also had an abnormal amount of play in the bracket (cheap pads). If you feel it is from the brakes, maybe try swapping pads/rotors from L to R and trying.

If possible, try to take a video of it. I may be able to advise further.
Cheers.
