Hi all, I am getting a weird noise in front of my steering wheel when I brake. When I fully press the brake, I don't hear it, but when you lightly press it and slowly slow down, the noise gets louder and louder. I jacked up the car and am able to reproduce the noise by just rotating the wheel back and forth. This is with the parking brake on, but AFAIK that only influences the front wheels. Does anyone have any idea what this could possibly be? I recorded it for you here:

I have some other weird noises from time to time, but this is the only one that consistently is produced.

I have the whole suspension done brand new and I have this clunk, even the brand new axles and all the control arms, the only thing I haven't replaced now (which is 3 years old anyway) is the wheel bearing, please report back when you find the cause..
