2000 Chevy Silverado Steering knock and brake question

Hello,

I recently inquired about a hot start problem and your advice was right on, it was indeed the fuel pressure regulator. Thank you.

I have two other things happening. First, I have a light knocking happening in my steering (can feel it in steering wheel) whenver I turn the wheels (usually at lower speeds) and apply the brakes. Any ideas as to what that could be?

Second, my brakes are acting funny. If I stop quickly or apply a good deal of pressure to the brakes, the anti lock kicks in (keep in mind, this is on completely dry pavement). Is that normal? Is there a way I can get it to stop doing that?

Thanks again for your help, I appreciate your advice.
