Give the brakes a service and new pad setup
Ensure the piston is freely moving and the slider is allowing full movement
Along with a decent bleed to ensure it's not sitting full of crappy fluid
Do the job once
When fitting pads - ensure the can slide smoothly in the carrier, if they cant find out why
Probably corrosion but a good eye and feel should have the braking problem sorted
Next the banging
Have the car on stands, and ensure that the car cant move, but can spin front wheels easily
i'd be then slowing one wheel down to a stop (carefully) and watch the otherside pick up in speed slightly~
Does the knocking suddenly become There?
Repeat for both wheels
If both wheels make the banging, sounds like diff, but whileits banging i'd be checking the moving parts and something will move and next part wont
A pry bar in the joints to ensure the wishbones aren't been playful
And that the engine isn't rocking around as it should

check the Brake disc not the front face the rear face.
check for flaking/scores and lip on disc edge.

Time to buy new discs then.
they is cheap enough 20 odd quid a pair. best to throw new pads in too.

deep grooves and scoring = New discs Yes
And with new disc's always comes new pads as well

because usually the side thats got loads of meat left on it is the Seized side
Ie the side thats worn out has 2x the work load....
tbh both should be stripped down and cleaned properly to ensure they can move freely etc
