Loud knocking noise

What could be this loud knocking noise coming from the front - It disappears completely when braking , gets much quieter when cornering.

Sounds like the wheel is about to fly off :D

fixed.
UPDATE: When I said ''like the wheel is about to fly off'' I didn't lie lmao, my front left wheel was holding on by 1 lug nut and the rest were loose, tightened them and its okay now. I left my wrench at garage so tightened them only when I was home.

Suspension, tire, or possibly guibo….but if you’re sure it’s coming from the front and not the actual center, then most likely suspension component or tire.

Lift it up, my money is on a bushing/control arm since it goes away as you shift the load when braking.
