IF YOU ARE FEELING A VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING, THEN THAT COULD BE THE BRAKE ROTORS THAT MAY BE OVERHEATED/WARPED. AS FAR AS THE KNOCKING NOISE WHEN BRAKING, EXACTLY WHEN DO HEAR THE KNOCK? IS IT WHEN RELEASING BRAKE PEDAL? IS IT RIGHT WHEN MAKING CONTACT WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL? NEED MORE INFO.

WHEN BRAKES ARE AFTERMARKET, SOMETIMES I HAVE SEEN THEM MAKE KNOCKING NOISES. MAYBE BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT LUBRICATED PROPERLY, OR SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE AFTERMARKET. IF THE BRAKES ARE FACTORY, AND BRAKES WERE LUBRICATED PROPERLY, TYPICALLY THE BRAKES WILL NOT MAKE NOISE.
