Replaced Front Brake Pads - Now CLUNK, CLUNK when turning
Today, I replaced the front pads on the car. Everything seems fine - but when I turn to left or right - even the slightest - I now have clunking. I can feel it through the steering wheel. It even vibrates the car some. Any advice? I've replaced the pads on my truck many times without issue, and I'm certain I did this correctly. (Pads, how difficult is that?) Squeeze caliper, remove bottom bolt, rotate caliper, replace pads, rotate caliper back (with that anti-vibration spring), replace bolt (greasing as appropriate).
Any thoughts? I'm using "Bosch BP76 QuietCast Premium Disc Brake Pad Set"; and they look an awful lot like the original pads.
Brake system is all original -
1985, S, 78,000 miles on the car.
Thanks!!

Lug nuts, possibly. You didn't mess with the dust cap, cotter pin and castle nut under it, did you? Aside from that the clunk is likely wobble from something on either side. I would take the wheels and tires off again and have a close look. Unless you seriously torqued something under there, it's unlikely to be a suspension component.
