Noise (pop/crack)

[MrBen]

When I stop I usually hear a thump/pop type of sound coming from the front of my car. At least, I think it is from the front. No mechanic can verify it but passengers and myself hear it regulary. Also, if i start off a bit rough (manual) I can hear it. Any ideas what is causing this?

possibly the brake clips are worn, letting the brake pads move a little more than they should

[MrBen]

I don't think they are, I just put in new brakes.
