Hello, someone pulled out on me the other day and i had to break VERY HARD, snaking everywhere, had the backend right out at one point but i didnt hit anything

now

at speed 40+ theres a knocking noise comming from my car, and i can feel it on my arse and on the wheel

ive had a look at the break pads, has anyone else got any ideas? the knocking gets faster with speed

If you locked the tires then you could have flat spotted them, but you could also have spun a tire on the rim, making it out of balance. If you find nothing visibly bent I would try rotoating tires and see if you can make the vibration change location.
