My 2000 subaru outback makes 'klunking' sounds as it goes over bumps, and when applying brakes lightly at about 80km/h and above shakes quite violently - firmer braking does not get as severe a vibration. I have recently had the rack ends and suspention struts replaced, and lower ball joints done within the last 18 months. The vehicle does have nearly 400000 km on the clock and I do live down a fairly rough dirt road so it has had a tough life.
Have the front end checked by an accredited front end specialist shop
could be the lower control arm bushes torn
SOURCE: sound when braking hard
If the front brakes were ok, I would have a look at a possible wheel bearing problem. Does the problem change noises at different speeds or is the problem only heard when breaking.

We bought our H6 used under warranty and had the problem the day it was delivered. Brought it in to the dealer and the diagnosed it as the throttle position sensor. It is an electronic component that works in conjuction with the fuel delivery system and it is faulty, it cannot tell what position the gas pedal is in, and therefore is randomly picking power settings.
We had it replaced, and never a problem since.
There are other possibilites to your problem, and this was our solution.
Hope that helps.

this problem is due to out of true front disk brake rotors (u need 2), your best bet is to replace them at this mileage Here is a part number and price from rockauto.com PRICE $28.79 (US)

It could be the wheel bearing on the left side is going bad. When you turn right the weight shifts to the left driver's side it is then when you might be able to hear it. The faster you turn the more load on the bearing.

If I understand you correctly, you feel a vibration it the brake pedal when you apply the brakes. Is that correct?
Have your brake rotors re surfaced; they are warped.
"engine makes cavitating noise" ....what does this mean?
