Might be stiction in the steering column. Sounds crazy, but its true. Press on brakes and front end dives, steering slides up-down in the coupler and "clunk".

I think you are talking about the return spring around the shaft. Sometimes mine will feel like it is slightly binding and you feel a release sensation and hear a little pop. I occasionally spray a little lubricant on the shaft and spring and it goes away for a while.
