a knocking coming from brakes

Probably badly worn /broken off brake shoe (or *brake pad) friction material. Check them ASAP as you can easily ruin your drums (or *discs) and might suffer from sudden brake failure on one side.

* - if you have disc brakes

check the TIE-RODS especially at the suspension arm end where
there could be play in the metal to metal connections.
