My 08 LS460 makes a clunk sound when brake to a full stop. It is as if something is loose and bang down from behind. anyone has or heard of this issue?

may i also clarify that this noise is a single "clunk" noise as if you have a ball or something in the trunk that hits the wall of the car when brake...not the series of "clicking noise" as in case of many actuator mentioned. I checked and there is nothing in the trunk and spare tires/jacks etc are secured.
There is something loose down there...I think. Taking the car in tomorrow.

My car has been in the shop for the last 4 days for this strange thumping noise coming from the front (29,350 miles). No detailed diagnosis as of yet. I have been told that some special parts have been ordered, and will be late next wek before I get the car back. Will keep everyone posted. In the meantime, I am also driving an 2011 ES350 loaner. I am extremely surprised as to how quiet and zippy this car is.
