Default Cracked rotor?

I noticed today there is a high paced click/knock noise when I'm driving, it started as a faint noise and only when I was braking.

Now it makes the noise 95% of the time while driving. Under 25mph it's very faint. Then 25+ it gets loud.

It seems as if it's coming from the driver side rear.

Any help appreciated!

Get your brake inspect asap, many place would do a quick visual inspect for free! when was the last time you service your brakes? if it's crack you should be able to see it, and visible see if the pad are worn out.

I found out big o didn't tighten the lugs. They were a few threads from falling off.

Got the oil changed and tires rotated. They forgot to tighten one wheel, could have been bad. On the bright side I painted the rotors. Lol

good to hear that's only the loose lugs, pretty dangerous tho.. lucky it doesn't cause any damages.
