Default weird brake noise

sumtimes, especially soon after i start drving my 96 ls, when i push the brake pedal about 1/4 of the way down, a clunking noise is made by one of the front brakes, or mebbe both , im not sure.

i got the dealer to check it out, they cant find anything wrong wit it

Did they check if the rotors need to be flattened?

My guess would be that a shim is missing or needed between the pad and caliper. Common problem in this vintage LS.

I would say that it is probably a lose or missing shim.

I have that same problem too on my 91 LS, my mechanic checked it out and told me the same thing, that I dind't have a problem with it, maybe it is my rotors?
