Front end clack sound.

I have an issue, found no info on it, so I am just going to ask before my car goes into the dealer to get looked at. My problem is when I back up and then move forward and hit the brakes I get this loud clack sound coming from the front of the car. My car was just serviced a couple weeks ago and had both motor mounts replaced due to the car engine shaking alot.

My car is still at the dealership, they told me its just normal wear and tear and basically its a spring on the brake caliper that doesnt hold as tight as new, im having a manager look into it now, to me this just sound normal.

Well got my car back, they basically did nothing, told me my brake pads dont have the updated pads, not covered under warranty, and told me its the brake pads shifting and causing the click. Only thing they did was supposedly lubed the slave rod, though I told them i'm getting a squeaking sound when I push my clutch pedal in, you can hear it coming from the pedal area, dont know why they looked at the slave rod. I gave them a few bulletins to look over, not sure if they did. I guess I will have to take it to another dealership here in Fort Worth, Texas.

Doesnt happen all the time, when I was at the dealership of course it wasnt doing it, but it happens lets say when you are depressing the clutch pedal and moving it up, as it nears the top is makes a rubberish sounding squeak, same thing is you are pushing the clutch pedal in, seems to start as you push it.
