Hi, i had my driveshafts done and my front right wheel bearing done about 2weeks ago. Now i have a knocking noise mostly when i brake from higher speeds like 60mph. The noise feels like its straight infront of my feet, right side front wheel. I dont think its the pads i checked them a few days ago. The only thing i have done different was pumped up my tyres.

Any ideas?

What car? Did you torque up the brake calipers/carriers and wheels correctly?
Could be a multitude of things, probably suspension or engine/gearbox mounting assuming your brakes are fine.

Could be literally anything, but judging from the previous topic you started its a Saxo 1.1?

Warped discs? then again im not a mechanic.

A single knock upon application of the brakes, or a series of knocking noises?

Take it back to the garage and get them to give it a once-over with a torque wrench and make sure everything's tight. Off-hand it could be wishbone ball joint pinch bolt or middle joint, brake caliper retaining bolt, hub nut, top mount, drop link or even track rod - all of them could cause knocking and all have to be undone to do a wheel bearing.

Yeah its asaxo 1.1, its a right boyracer smile

But i think it its something loose lke you said. Its a repeated noise, knocking. Another thought i had was that it might be the brake pads not seated correctly, but i think its safe to say is most likeley brake related. I think its only happened once without the brakes.
