Brakes
im wondering why my brakes seem to shake when slowing down from fast speeds, u might say from warped rotors doestnt seem like it because today i did triple digits and slowed down no shaking this time + they seem to squeal from on side and when front tires in air they keep spining for alongggg time
might do new brakes new year zimmerman cross drilled brakes and pagid pads |

have you made sure all of your hardware is present and properly fastened? have you checked for end play?

it might be suspension bushings. maybe control arm bushings? probably not but it might be worth checking out

A clunking noise can also be that your bolts holding your steering knuckle to the strut are loosening up. This is a very common issue with 944's, especially if they are tracked.
For me, it was a clunk when going to full/near full lock at slow speeds. The camber was out and I had to have it aligned again. Now I check those bolts before every track day. Many racers weld some supports to the struts, or tack weld the bolt to the strut to prevent movement. Good luck, Keith

I would look into the bolts as keith said. the reason I suggested bushings is because they have lead to weird issues for me before. over time they not only wear but flow and it will lead you to strange problems.
