Really need more info to help you locate and correct this problem, when does grinding occur? Just when applying brakes? at a certain speed without breaking? Same for Clunking Noise. If I had to go off the info I have I would remove wheel and check to make sure pads are still positioned correctly and check to make sure the caliper bolts and caliper bracket bolts are tight

Recheck your work

Did you install new springs?

Flush/Bleed the System?

Turn the Drums?

New Wheel Cylinders?

the sound that you hear are the abs working sadly its normal but it mean it works properly. when the abs light is on it mean that your abs is not functioning that's why you don't hear the clunking sound

Does your car have rear disc brakes? If so, it is likely a failure of the emergency brake that is inside the rear disc.

It sounds like the control arm bushing is probably cracked or broken. Unfortunately a clunking while braking can be a lot of issues, but I bet it is coming from the control arm bushing.

I would check the brake caliper hinge pins. If the pins are worn, every time you apply the brakes the caliper moves forward against the pins. If the caliper pins and or caliper are worn they will clunk when the brakes are applied.
Check to see if the caliper shifts forward and back.
Let me know.

check ball joints by lifting front end and shake tires. if loose your ball joints are bad. you will hear a clunking sound as you apply brakes during driving. its the play in the ball joint. the dealer wants $600 in labor. $160 in parts at auto zone. get the ball joint press also. good luck.
