Goin z32 front calipers and I know its gona be a lot stronger braking power, so las nite I did some threshold braking to make sure cars ready...

I accel to maybe 20-30mph, then step on the brakes harder and harder then stand on em [I want to stop hard, not skid]. Then rite b4 the car stops, I heard a clunk from the driver front wheel, and the steering wheel twitches.

Feels like the driver front wheel is getting toe out. I have NISMO TC rod bushings, s14 5lug hub [so cant be older than 1995 bushings], and my tie rod is 1991 oem. Suspension is full coilover with pillow mounts.

SO... any ideas wut that clunk is? My best gues is that since I have 17x7 +35 in front, the wheel center is a lil further out, putting torque at the hub, and making one of the bushings compress? Anyone else have this prob? Solve-able with poly bushings?
