Front end clunk

My driver's side front suspension has an intermittent but audible and tactile clunk. I usually feel and hear the clunk at slow speed after sharp braking. I removed both front tires expecting to find a loose strut, tie rod, sway bar, or other suspension component. Instead, everything is tight. Even the calipers. Another irritant is the front brakes are very grabby. When I roll to a stop under braking, they grab and make the stop not exactly passenger friendly. I wonder if my clunk is related.
Can anyone suggest a diagnosis of the clunk? It's a weird one.
Thanks,
CL
