Harvester,
its original...i have, what... drag links and ball studs? Those could be the problem, yes?
I don't remember feeling/ hearing anything when braking, but it only happened toward the end of my errands today. I'll check it out tomorrow.
I'll print out all your suggestions and bring them to my mechanic. Hopefully he'll hear it during a test drive (I hate it when they don't)but this will certainly give him a menu of possibilities.
Thanks very much.
