Noises problem
1990 Volvo 240 212000 miles

I have a 90 volvo 240, when we bought the car while backing up and turn tightly i hear a small knock, to me it sounded like the CV joint was going bad. This was 2 months ago and have had no problems until today. I was driving down the hwy when out of no where the car jerked to the right jumping me 2 lanes, and then make a sound that my tire was flat. I pulled over and inspected my tiers they are all fine i even checked for missing tread. I had no choise but to drive it another 8 miles, the whole drive it made a knocking noice that sounded like a flat tire and by the end of the trip the brakes felt funny when i stoped. ANy ideas on what went wrong or what needs fixed?

Its started feeling like the knock was from the right but the longer i drove it almost felt like the full front of car. As for breaks it seamed they were soft and went to the floor easier, the car did stop but they just didnt feel like they did before the crazy noice.
