Car clunks when I ease off the brakes For example, imagine a stop at a red light. When
I ease off the brakes gently, there is signifigant clunking as the car barely begins to move. Yet, the car does not clunk when braking from full speed.
Does anyone have any ideas what could be the problem? Thanks

is it like your at a light and when you let off your brakes and pull away you hear it? because id like to know what this is also in my 02 m6 when i go to pull away from a stop i hear it mostly when i initially pull away from the house after dropping the ebrake. i think sticky calipers maybe?

You have an A4?
If you just ease off the brakes they are still somewhat applied when it starts the "clunking." What it probably is is just the brakes groaning as they lose and regain grip over and over and start sliding. If you just let off the brake normally, not easing off the brake, does it just move smoothly?
