Hi there. The clicking sound you hear when braking might be a worn suspension component and not related to the brakes. Sway bar links for example can make clicking sounds when the bushings are worn. If ball joints are worn, the shifting of the spindle can cause a clicking type sound also. A loose strut can also make a similar sound. A sudden braking situation can cause loose suspension components to accelerate their warning signs and symptoms, but it could also be a warped rotor. It might be a good idea to have one of our professional mechanics come to your location and complete a car is making a noise inspection, so they can isolate the noise and verify what is damaged and requires repair.
