Loud clank

I just replaced brakes (maxima '89)- everything new from autozone (front disks&pads and back drums shoes). Now, when i brake, there is a loud single "clank" noise somewhere around front passengers wheel (hard to tell where is coming from) just moment before full stop. It sound like something hits the floor and is very loud. I do not have ABS. I vould appreciate help on this.

Thanks

Does the pedal slightly bottoms down to the floor?

No, it does not, but it looks like i have some air in the system (after pressing the pedal a couple of times, it gets a bit harder).

Bleed it out, check for loose caliper bolts. Check for worn ball joint too. Just some ideas

Check your axle boot and make sure there is no crack or broken. When dirt get inside the axleboot and you start loosing the grease inside, you axle can break and make a lot of noise.
