Hey guys, had my st for about 7 months now and love it but i've been noticing a "clunk" when i am almost at a stop and take off again (for example, if i roll a stop sign). not throttling it at all. it almost feels like something is loose, but i didnt know if maybe it was the brake disengaging or if anyone else had a similar experiance.

I would look at the rear diff and see if you have the 1-bolt crossmember or the 2- bolt. There is a known issue with the 1-bolt bending/breaking causing issues.

Did you buy from Ford dealer or other?

Some people have had defective half shafts as well. I was one of them.
