    I have been having a issue with a clicking sound when i am braking at low speeds. only happens when i apply the brake. with slight vibration when braking. I have replace the rotors already, new brake calipers and pads, mostly all lower control joints and suspensions parts, replaced the rack and pinion, new shocks and struts, i cannot figure this out. any ideas or help

    Check your LBJ. A buddy’s Tacoma was clicking too when the brakes are applied and it gave him a great life experience going 70mph on the highway.

    yes so the noise was there before i changed the LBJ and its still there. the only time i can pinpoint that i changed and then i started to hear the clicking sound was after i changed the calipers, brake pads n hardware. if tried two separate pads n hardware and still

    Is the clicking rotational?

    I had a rock/rd debris stuck between rotor and brake shield.
    Put in reverse…hard acceleration…hard braking….knocked debris out
