Why do I hear a click when I brake?
Thanks in advance. Next time you hear it click, come to a full stop, back up a bit, apply the brakes again to come to a stop, and try it forward again, listening for another click. If it clicks again, I’d say either the pads are loose enough to slide a bit or possibly the caliper slide pins.
