Default Front knock

Upon braking I can hear a distinct knocking. Its bad. As soon as I put brakes on its there. Brakes full on hard no knocking.

Tested twice test 1, slow and easy to supermarket, damn thing isnt doing it. Brakes on lightly and it knocks, just like you have something stuck in your tread but louder. Foot off pedal and you can hear it still just not so bad.

Test 2 picked son up from work slight vibration through steering circa 65 mph. Dies away slower you get and that damn click click clicks there. Hit brakes and its clunk clunk clunk. Foot off pedal and its there in the background.

What Ive done recently. Track rod ends due to loose steering and tramlining. Drop links are new as is front suspension and struts bearings etc. But, Ive new rubber on front wheels; rear tyres needed replacing and to have the newer rubber on front I swapped the wheels over? Could also be a duff engine mount to but hey what do I know I fix computers not cars....lol. Lastly brakes need replacing as lgiht was on and caliper jammed melting the warning cable. Caliper changed(ty Bill Coleman of Bournemouth) and awaiting new pads and discs which I have. Window down brakes at front are squeeling a bit.
