Default Brake issue (dealer?)

My brakes / suspension are acting weird.

When I'm on the brakes in my automatic XB, slowing from about 50 on a semi-bumpy road, it feels like the brake disk/pad and the suspension get out of sync. Only on my right front brake so far and only twice. My XB is stock and I haven't touched a thing.

I start to slow down and then the brake feels like it stops catching as well in the front right and there's a loud clunking sound emitted from that area. If it were an older car, I'd think the wheel was gonna fall off. 3800 miles on the car and never dropped off a curb or driven through huge pot holes or anything.

Before I take it in for inspection, I want other in's on this.
Thanx,
Cameron

Could be a defective bearing, bolt came loose on the caliper and it is hitting the disc when u stop. Either way take it back to the dealer. Please post up again when they take care of it, :? thanks for posting this problem.
