it could be a couple of diferent things.
your brakes load the suspension by appling torque to the suspension and steering knukle. if the ball joints are dry(lacking grease) they will bind under load, then when you release your brake and hit the gas the suspension unwinds and the torque is released...Clunk! I use "High Pressure Grease", it the silvery looking kind that doesn't push out like white grease and it holds up in wet conditions.
one other thing to look for is a bad ball joint, it would be allowing the joint to shift the same way because of premature wear.
