My car has a knock in the front drivers wheel when I brake. When driving, there's also a small wobble that seems to be getting a bit worse. Any ideas? Thank you..

Sounds like worn wheel bearings. Raise and support vehicle, try "wiggling" the wheel . If it has play in it, then suspect worn wheel bearings or worn ball joint. I recommend servicing ASAP as this could lead to an accident if completely fails while driving.
