Greetings Mike,

I don’t know if this is the same symptom or not, but my 2003 HCH developed a clunk that I noticed when applying the brake, or when rolling away from a dead stop. I took it in to the dealer, and had them drive it with me in the car. I asked, “there, do you hear that sound?” The service rep acknowledged that yes, he heard the sound. The mechanics diagnosed the problem by having one guy drive over a service bay and apply the brake while another guy inside the bay listened for the clunk. They isolated it to a loose axle nut on the driver's side half-shaft. They torqued it to spec, and the problem was resolved. So, you may suggest that they check the half-shaft bolts.
