Braking noise, engine and transmission support

Mr. Gibs,

Sir, I noticed that whenever I turn my steering wheel while applying brakes knocking sounds seem to come from my right front wheel (i think thats where i heart the sound coming from). Same thing happens while applying brakes on the road (cruising). I tried to have it checked out at the casa and for a while the problem sort of went away but after a week or so, it came back. I recently had my brake pads replaced but the same sound just keeps oncoming back.

How do I know when I need to have my engine supports and transmission supports checked for wear and replacement? My unit is a '97 mazda familia gli.

Thanks.

Dear Anthony,

Have your front rotors refaced, they are already uneven that's why it causes noise. As for your 323 gli, if the car rattles when you start the car or when you shift in reverse...well that's dead, thanx 4 writing.
