wtf is that knocking noise........

I've been noticing this really loud knocking noise in my 99 z/28. I've only noticed it when braking. So I took it to a shop they put it up on the lift checked all the brakes and they were all fine. they didn't know what else it could be. Any one else have this problem before? How did you fix it? could it possibly be the brake booster? It sounds like its just right there in front of me when it happens. any ideas?

Thanks

It could be a number of things but i would start by checking your upper and lower a arm bushings and maybe ball joints.

cool. thanks guys. I'll check all the things listed. any other ideas? and no i dont have a drive shaft loop. the car is completely stock and was a one owner, 84,000 mile car. I ordered an air lid for it and I'll put exhaust on it and do some free mods but other than that it will remain stock until I get it paid off!
