Default knocking/clicking noise when I brake

okay so 2 or 3 days ago im heading down the road and i hear this knocking noise when i start to hit the brakes right before i come to a complete stop. I have no idea what it could be. So the next day i jack it up and look under to check all the cv axles and joints and other suspension components to see if thats maybe what its from..nothing. all the boots are fine. There is a boot torn on the tie rod end i believe but it doesnt move or make any noise. Well i proceed to just spin the wheel and i hear this loud clicking/knocking noise coming from the axles! it sounds like if you put a playing card in the spoke of a bike tire...but its pretty loud. the tranny has an LSD so i was told but it has never made that noise before. not sure if that make any difference on the matter
the problem has gotten worse and its far more frequent and louder like its coming from both axles and not just the passenger side and now i can somewhat hear the knocking when i go over a bump or whatever imperfection in the road there may be
any kind of input would be greatly appreciated
thanks in advance
