Angry Clicking noise from brakes!

For some reason sometimes when I brake kinda hard a clicking noise comes from one of the brakes. Not sure if its the brake or something on my suspension. But it sounds almost like something is shifting or something it only comes from one but I can't tell exactly where it is coming from. Anybody know what this might be???

I think I here it to sometimes. It's like a CLICK!! But only a single one. Almost like the ABS is on but its not and only when Iam braking at a slow mph like 5 mph.

Sometimes the shoes in a braking system have a little slop (especially if the clips on either side are old, or sometimes lazy brake shops dont even put these back in!!) the pad slides back and forth and will click once under enitial braking. Also I've seen the shafts that the calipers ride on rust and pit very badly causing slop in the caliper. Its nothing to worry about if this is the case, but go over your complete system and check bearings.

If you have air in the system the ABS will click.

Mine does this too damit, usually during slow driving. Anyone know how to fix this, bleed the lines? Also is it bad for the brakes?

I have the low speed clicking on my driver's front caliper. Guess I'll have to take both sides apart and see what's up with it. Anyone had this problem and fixed it?

Check that your rotors are on tight. Thats what fixed my clicking. I also had a quieter repeated clicking from loose pads.
