could be couple of things:

brake line is bleeding, thus not fully engaging.

lift your car up, or get under there and see if you see some liquids being spilled around the area.

or maybe the brake pad is worn out, thus why you hear a "knock" sound.

with that, then you gotta replace them and have your rotors "aligned" so theyre even when you put in new pads :)

Could also be the caliper sticking.

my pads are fine and my rotors are fairly new..what i did notice was that i grabbed the caliper and wiggled it?!? pulled toward and away from me so it had a side to side motion? ill try bleeding and seeing what happens from there

dbl check your bolts and it might be going out soon.
