the only time i can hear it is with a window open and stopping from like under 5 mph. i can recreate it if i stop rolling forward or backwards. I dont know where to start looking for the problem any help would be awesome.

I had that problem after i had coilovers installed, the shop....
loosened and re-tignetned all my control arms and front end pieces and the sound went away, but my sound was super loud and more of a crack than a clunk and I could easly hear it in the car.

Believe it or not, when I had this noise, it ended up being the front brake pads...
The retaining clips were a little loose and the pads would clunk at low speed. To verify, try your slow speed roll but use the emergency brake to stop rather than the brake pedal. I could also move them slightly when the car was standing still. If that is it, some anti-squeal stuff on the pad backs should take care of it. Mine went away when I got new pads...
