i was taking lunch to my sisters boyfriend and on the trip back i noticed a knocking noise from one side of the car i figured out it only happens while i brake sounds like its coming from the back i took a quick look under the car but nothing seems out of the ordinary besides a nail in my tire

i have a 95 civic lx i have BWR lcas maybe the bushings went? but there still very new

edit: after going to the super market the noise is gone

Nail will get louder as you slow down.

Nail would sink further into the tire. But do you have rear disk or drum?
