95 Laredo--clunking sound, brake locked? Dunno!

Hi--new here, first post and question:

JUST bought a 95 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo yesterday. I've already discovered a lot of quirky things that I've read about here (radio/CD screen blank, rear lamp failure warning, etc. etc.) but today something happened that concerned me. I was turning into a parking lot and heard a "clunking" sound and it felt like the rear passsenger side brake had locked. I pulled into a space and stopped, got out and looked, and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. When I started it again and began moving, it clunked again, then everything seemed okay.

Later it did the same sort of thing briefly on the back and then on the front passenger side! I don't know if it's a brake or something else.

It was just inspected a couple of weeks ago so I'm assuming that the brakes, pads, rotors whatever are in decent condition.

I'm taking it back to the dealer tomorrow for him to check it, but the limited 30 day-1200 mile warranty only covers engine and transmission.

Anyone else have this happen? Is it something other than the brakes?? Please let me know ASAP--while I'd hate to do it (already love this hoss!), I suppose I could void the contract within 3 days. :disappoin
