Well my thump / clunk after breaking was definitely the suspension “Stiction” from the failing leaking Fox shock. I did clean the rotors and calipers while I was in there
Mine has new shocks in all 4 corners. Maybe I need to recheck their torque.

Heck, based on posts in these forums over the last 3 years, it's not a waste of time to check the torque on all steering and suspension components. Especially if you've been off the beaten path much at all.
And while at it, once satisfied that all is well, use a paint pen or similar to mark fasteners so you can tell at a glance if anything has turned or moved.

Nope. Thump is still there, checked all control arms and suspension, has to be driveline issue.

Well definitely check caliper mounting bolts, I thought mine were tight, torqued them again really good and thump has officially been dispersed. Thanks @ShadowsPapa for the recommendation earlier in this thread
