    Does anyone know where this click could be coming from? In the video, I am pulling straight forward and backwards, the click is audible when pressing on the brake pedal.

    I thought it was coming from front left, but this video makes it sound like maybe the middle or right?

    take out the brake pads and the pins that secure them in place. grease up the pins and a little on the backside of the brake pads. The sides that dont touch the rotors. I had the same noise on my 2019 and when I changed out the pads and greased up the pins there was zero noise

    edit: I think i may have even put a little grease on the front and rear edge of the pads where they could make contact within the caliper

    This... Had same thing on my 18. Pulled pads, shims, cleaned them, along with clean pins. Light coat of brake pad grease, reassemble.

    I should have updated this post. Thanks for calling me out.

    It turned out to be greasing and reseating the bolts/pads in the front brake calipers like other recommended. Hasn't come back yet.

    This just started happening to my 2021 Off Road a few weeks ago, around 11,250 miles on the odometer. Nice to see that it's not just me and that there's a somewhat easy fix.
