Default Knocking noise while braking at slow speeds. Help

Well I get a really bad knocking noise when I brake at slow speeds. I can't hear it or feel it when I'm on the freeway and braking, only when I am coming up to a red light. Sounds horrible, I don't really feel it in the brake pedal so I'm not sure. Is there a bushing or something I need to replace? It is coming from my front passenger side.

Could be your rotors. Might need to get them resurfaced.

Front lower control arm bushing is bad. Same thing happened to me a month ago. I couldn't figure out what it was. I took the wheel off and it didn't wobble. I did the same thing the next day and it wobbled. I looked at it for a while and then I noticed it was the front LCA bushing. I put a new control arm on and everything is fine now. Somebody a couple weeks ago had the same problem, I told him to check is front LCA and that fixed his problem too. Hope this helps!

do I have to replace the whole control are or could I just replace the bushing? Also does anyone know the price to replace just the bushing or the whole control arm? Thanks
