knocking noise front driver side
hey guys i am hearing this clunking/ grinding noise coming from my front driverside wheel area. its pretty sporadic and it doesn't make any noise when when I am using the brakes, my rotors look good, it seems to also stop when i am accelerating. but its only when i start slowing (without braking) that it seems to really start clicking. any help would be much appreciated
my brakes were just replaced about 3 weeks ago and the rotors are good. the noise has been happening for a few days now.
i am a first time honda owner and i dont know much about cars. just looking for some ideas on what it could be.
someone said to tighten my lug nuts and see if that helps...that sometimes the knocking wobbly feeling could be from the lugnuts coming lose. also heard that it could be a control arm or some bearings...
advice! please

I had a rubbing type knock when my lugnuts got loose (didn't re tighten them after the initial time). If it's more of a clicking, that's what happened when I needed a new wheel bearing.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one
Re: knocking noise front driver side
Return to the shop that did the brakes, have them recheck their work and inspect for this problem.
Could have been an error on their part....like a bolt fell out and the caliper is now contacting the wheel at times.
