It could be lots of things. Not really easy to determine over the net.

we'll need more info. Can you feel it in the steering wheel? Does it happen with just the brakes on? Off? Is the driveway uphill? Downhill? flat?

i don't remember feeling it in the steering wheel, the brakes are usually on, the driveway is flat but there is about half an inch difference between the road/driveway

thanks guys..

You should check the connecting links for your sway bar.A camaro I had did the same thing, it was a loud clunking and you didnt really feel it in the wheel and when I looked underneath the the bushings for the link on the one side were completely shot and the sound was caused by the sway bar moving up and down.
