Knocking Sound

Hi Guys

I am having this peculiar problem with my front brakes for 2 years.

When i first start the car for the day and when i brake, there is always this knocking sound.

When i move further along the sound disappears.

I have checked the web and most likely something is loose down there.

But i went to 2 different workshops and both cannot tell me what is the reason.

Anyone has experience this before?

I know I get a scraping noise and all the rust gets taken off as I reverse out my driveway :P

The ABS etc does checks when first taking off, it could well be this.

Squeaking and squealing will happen when brakes are cold. Once there is a little heat in them, it will often go away :)
