Message	I would suspect the kingpin bearing was damaged when the wheel blew out. If true this damaged bearing (found within the knuckle arm upright) could cause a slight klunk noise particulary noticeable when the brakes are applied or hitting bumps. Refer to: [ http://www.courtesyparts.com/300zx-parts-z32-1990-1996/genuine-nissan-parts/axle-suspension/400-front-axle/-c-882_883_976_977.html ] It's a best guess from me, I've never experianced "klunk" but figure its not a bad thing to replace as maintenace should I be wrong/or fail to correctly diagnose from other solutions.
