Cool clicking nosie in the front of car

i have this clicking noise that i hear when i back up slowly and hit my brakes to slow down. it does it only when im going slow and usually when i hit my brakes. but if im going slow turning or so it will make a clicking sound its purty loud sometimes louder than other times. i have warped rotors i have to mentions but i jus got my new brembos and hawks today yeah! so ill be gettin those on soon. i was wonderin what is this noise its horrible it soudns like my car is falling apart and i hate it it happens usually when i hit my brakes and does soudn like the front passenger side moreso than my side (drivers side) im worried that is a suspension component going bad or something that screws up somethin i dont want anything to break on it i plan on having this car for a very very long time and i want to take the best car of it that i can. sorry for the long post jus worried. have any of you ever had this problem i hope you all can relate thansk guys!

Not sure what exactly could be wrong but you said you were doing brakes soon so that would be a great time to inspect everything and replace any defective parts. Pull your rear wheels as well and inspect the rear brakes, it may be something simple and you will be able to fix it relativly cheap.
Don,t forget to inspect the parking brake cables and hardware as well, alot of people neglect this.

I had the same clicking twice, Both times i was told it had something to do with the abs system. If it is a slight clicking, dont worry about it, if you can bearly notice it. If you really hear it, you may have a problem.

I would not worry about your car falling apart just because of some brake noise. Brakes are used alot, probably the next most used system cept for drivetrain. Pads get used up, rotors get used up, just something you have to keep on top of.
So don,t worry about your car falling apart cause of brake noise cause we all deal with brake problems sooner or later.
Most of us sooner.

ok guys but it also happens sometimes when i dont hit the brakes its not as loud as usual but itoonly does it slo but usually it does it when i am pressing in my brakes. i just hope its nothing big and it is my fron tbrakes because im changing them today with new pads/rotors so hopefully that fixes it!
