I got my brake pads changed 2 days ago and now I notice that when I press on the brake or hit bumps in the road I am getting a knocking noise. It doesn't happen if I hit a dips in the road... I'm getting my lbj's and tierod ends replaced this weekend but was curious to see if this might be a loose rotor if that's possible... What do you guys think? Sounds like its only coming from the right side.

Check the anti rattle clips on the brake pads. It's amazing how much noise pads moving around makes

sounds like this is def it.... i poked around at the brakes today when the car was parked and it seems one of the clips are loose.... i could actually push the clip in and make the pad hit the rotor.... thanks for the help...

it's a good idea to always change those when changing our brakes.
Usually called "brake hardware kit" or the lexus part is "brake fitment kit".

They are not too expensive (under $10), especially the non-toyota ones.

I think I may have this problem. What do the anti-rattle clips look like and where are they positioned.
