Sounds like you have a rotor imperfection, there is a brake pad adhesive that keeps the pads stuck to the piston and caliper frame outboard side.
Also make sure the lug nuts are clamping the rotors properly between the hub and wheel.
I have also seen improper wheel torque cause the rotors to prematurely warp.
Hope this helps.

My mom has a 2003 jeep liberty. She had her front brakes changed a few months ago. A few weeks ago a knocking started from the front passenger wheel. It doesn't happen all the time, but it does happen often no matter what speed or type of road. The knocking stops when you apply the brake. I took auto tech in high school and would have changed the brakes myself.. but I was away at college.. I took the tire off and looked but nothing seemed to be broke or loose... Any ideas on what the knocking is???
