Since my crash, and when i goto brake coming down from 30mph etc, it makes this knocking sound, it isn't continuous, just when i tap the brake, it also makes this noise when i go over bumps, i think its coming from the right caliper and didn't use to do this before i had the crash Crying or Very sad .

Any help or insight would be mucho appreciated.

Hi

Was the caliper damaged in the accident? If it is a sliding caliper then if the pins are damaged then it allows it to move with a click when you brake.

However the steering head bearings would be the first place I would look for any play that would cause a click.

All the best
