Well when I'm cruisin on the highway and I apply my brakes to take an exit, my brakes kinda like knock and the car shakes. What is this? The front brakes were done last September so I don't wanna dig around in there unless I'm sure of the problem.

I could be wrong but I think it sounds like your rotors are warped. That or maybe the caliper pistons are sticking...

The knock sound could be the balljoint. The vibration is probably warped rotors.

he's slowing down! not accelerating! if the it was the "ball joint" it would be noticed on acceleration more, which he did not mention. & warped rotors do make noise similar to a knock.
