It will be a dry bush or the brake caliper floating about. I would not worry about it, and let it develop.

If you are worried, you should just check that everything is tight, especially the tinwork behind the brake caliper.

clunk, click? Metalic or dull?

Could be top-mount.

Thats good then. But be aware cars do not fix themselves (unless they are called christine.)

Even so, problem gone away, therefore do not worry about it. Come tell me when its back!
