    Weird clicking when braking

    Hey Guys, Im new to the site and I when I was driving the other day. I noticed that when I brake, I hear a clicking noise. It's not a sound that comes from outside the cabin, it seems to originate from inside toward the passenger side of my cabin. Does anyone have any thoughts on what it is?

    Maybe your break pads are that low on friction material. Try changing them first then go from there.

      Sorry I didn't mention, I have changed the pads already and resurfaced the rotors. its weird because its a loud click sound that sounds like its coming from the passenger side. Like its IN the cabin. I know I'm probably sounding confusing. maybe Ill take a vid

        Do a visual inspection for the area in question. Also you may want to check brake area for foreign debris or a tool that may be forgotten (u never know, sometimes it happens)

          ^ yeah do this. Maybe the retaining clips aren't staying on. Mine fell out one day and i just got some nice ones from the junkyard. Try moving things by hand and see if anything is loose or not lining up.

            That clicking sound might from under your gear box. Do you have auto? Mine clicks when I press on the brake pedal. It's a safety lock at the gear box. Mine only clicks when I press on the brake pedal to move the gear from park. Other than that, I don't notice it when I am driving. I have heard clicks from our car with the brake pedal switch. It some times click pretty loud when it's old. A little lube like WD-40 might help with this one.
            Did you lube your sliders pins when you did your pads? Some times those click when they are not lube up good.

              I think you may be right. I will look closely to see if it happens when I switch gears. And yes I do have an auto. I will try your guys' methods. Thanks a bunch!

                What retaining clips are you speaking of?

                  make sure the brake shims on the back of the pads didn't shift. I had some EBC Green stuff pads that the shims shifted and were hitting the rotor making a clicking noise
