Weird Click From Front Under Braking
Well over the last day or so i have noticed i get a single click from what seems to be the front drivers side of the car when coming to a complete stop. It usually does it after hard braking and then a normal braking it will do it. I did recently do a full rotor and pad job but im not sure if that could be the cause of this or something else.
I will be pulling the rim off and inspecting it to see what the issue is. Just dont have time to until Monday. So any help on what to look for or check is appreciated.

Did you leave any of the brake shims and clips off?
Another thing to check is the inner tie rod end. Jack up the car and try to yank the wheel in various directions. If you feel play, observe the tie rod while you pull on the wheel.

I did lack a shim on the driver side because it had rusted so badly that it crumbled when the pads were taken out.
I will check the tie rod end and ball joints too.
Also forgot to add i changed to the rims off of my vert not that it makes any difference.
