major problems..

When applying the brakes, I get this fairly loud knocking noise coming from the driver side wheel well. I checked brakes, brake pads, rotors, but they are all brand new. I also did a tire rotation and now the noise is even louder. Anyone have any idea what it could be? My dad says it isn't anything major, but i'm thinking like a bent bushing or something like that???
Also, after the tire rotation, I noticed my car pulling hard to the right side. Before, I was thinking about getting it aligned when it was barely pulling, but now it is almost unbearable. Do you think that is all it would need to stop the car from steering to the right?
Any info/suggestions appreciated, thanks!

Could be warped rotors- new rotors can made crappy too

maybe driveshaft falling apart

check your tie rods, control arm bushings, ball joint -

u need to get your front end checked by a shop

hard to tell cause we can't see or hear the noise over the computer

well...i figured out why my car was pulling to one side. I had a mismatched tire that was in the rear before, and when I did my tire rotation I brought it up to the front, and because of the FWD it was causing it to pull. I am probably going to have to bring my car to a shop sometime this week to look at what is causing that funny noise. Thanks for the help guys!

knocking noise....hmmm.....Id say maybe a CV joint is gone or worse case scenario, your bearing is pooched and the noise youre hearing is your rotor grinding away at your knuckle
