Default Clunking/Vibration through front wheels?

Need to try and get rid of the clunking sounds like something is either wrong with the brakes or driveshafts - I've changed the discs, pads, bearings, front hubs
Running out of options on noises!!

The thing that has caused the current issue is severe shaking of the car - I destroyed the discs on a track day but kept driving with warped AP discs for a couple of hours - made for an interesting time braking!! - since have changed the pads and discs but now have vibration through the wheels - I've checked balancing

What else could I have knackered? - I didnt have this issue before some recent track days

Have you tried changing the CV joints?

You need to describe what your experiencing in a bit more details, speeds, straight/cornering is it felt through the floor, brake pedal or just the steering etc etc etc....

Makes the noise on going in any speed at any direction
Depressing braake pedal and sound goes away
Thud thud thud as the pads rotate around I thought though I'm also looking at the driveshaft into the gearbox

If the sound goes away it tends to suggest lose pads - anti-rattle clip the correct way around though

I think its the noise of the pads rubbing the groove on the disc

Discs - AP are new as are the pads

Nothing wrong with CV joints, bearings, hubs as bearings/hubs were changed when I had a click/click noise on lock - I thought it was the CV joint but it was play in the Hub!! - expensive correction at about £700 to sort with hubs/bearings/labour
