have the brake disc turned. or maybe, too much play in front end. Raise front wheel and try to move it side to side (with out moving the other front wheel) side to side slop means worn out steering linkage or control arm.

What causes a knocking noise when brakes are applied gently?
When there are any issues with your brakes it is best to take your car in to a certified mechanic. Brakes can knock for several reasons, including the calipers, brake pads, and bearings.
How do you resolve rear calipers that fire only when the E-brake is applied not when braking on a 1998 MAXIMA?
Have you replaced your rear pads or calipers? May have air in the lines. The reason the E- brake works is because it is engaged by a cable and has nothing to do with the hydraulics of your brake system.

My 1995 Mazda millenia is making a grinding as I increase the speed the noise increases Sounds as is coming from the front right side. I had the brakes an rotors replaced and it still hasn't went?
Brake calipers will sometimes not pull back from the rotors as they should and will make noise as the brake shoes literally rub the rotors continuously. This can happen even after changing both brakes and rotors. The contact points where the brake shoes slide back and forth on the caliper should be cleaned and have lubricant applied to prevent this. Also, could be a bad wheel bearing. There is a ball-bearing behind the hub that the wheel bolts onto which help the wheel turn with less friction. Sometimes those bearings will stick instead of turning. If detected early enough, it can sometimes be resolved by repacking them with grease(some cars have sealed bearings that cannot be repacked), but usually when they are as noisy as you imply they need to be replaced.
Is brake calipers necessary for brake drums?
There are no calipers used with brake drums. Brake drums work with curved brake pads pressing against the inside circular surface of the drum when the brakes are applied. These pads are held in place and pushed by a spring and lever assembly that is mounted to a steel plate attached to the wheel or axle of the car. This plate does not move. Calipers are used with disc brakes to hold the brake pads on both sides of the disc brake and to apply them against the disc when the brakes are applied.

With new Calipers and parking brake cables adjusted up tight why are the calipers not grabing the disk when the parking brake is applied on a 1993 Ford Escort GT?
There is a plug in the back of the caliper that has an Allen head screw under it. You have to turn the screw all the way in and then back it off 1/3 of a turn.
