No noise at idle but when I go to drive it down the road the clunking and grinding begin, I can feel (it's also visible) through tire wobbling like it's going to fall off. I replaced the stabilizer link front end has been rebuilt. Also, when the noise starts my brakes go to the floor when I push the pedal. Please help, I'm beyond frustrated!

Hi,

Is it possible for you to record the sound and video of what is seen, and upload it for me to see and hear? Also, does the brake pedal go to the floor before moving the vehicle? Are the brakes, calipers, caliper mounts tight and in good condition? Have you checked the front wheel bearings?

Let me know.
