Default clacking when braking

Starting yesterday i noticed a clacking sound from the front of the my 97 accord lx when I push the brakes lightly. This sounds isnt there when i push the brakes hard and the car stops quickly. It only happens when i push on the lightly and its a repetitive clacking. Could this be the engine muntng that needs replacement as there are alot of squeaks when i go over huge bumps. Any ideas and help would be great. Thanks

probably a combination of warped rotors and bad pads. purely a brake issue. if you motor mounts go out your steering wheel will shake at idle especially with the a/c on.

Is it more noticeable at very low speeds? Warped rotors can cause the pads to move in the saddles causing a creaking noise.
