Trouble with brakes

Trouble with brakes *may be traction control issue*
Thanks in advance for all the help!!
About eight months ago I swapped my rear end stock for stock. (was faster than rebuilding it) Since then when I brake under certain conditions mainly hard corner braking I get this clicking coming from the right rear side. I can feel this clicking in the brake pedal also. If I let off of the brakes and reapply it will usually go away. It only does it sometimes so it's hard to be ready for it. When it does the clicking I can tell it is not braking properly.
Think it could be a caliper or something with the ABS?
Also it is on an 04 GT.

Its been a while on this but here is an update. I recently replaced all of the rotors and pads. I also change out the right rear caliper where the flutter is coming from. But still the flutter is there. Has anyone heard of this happening due to a bad brake hose? But it still feels the same, I hit the brakes and it flutters, I let off and reapply the brakes and it feels fine. Some times it will do it twice before clearing up.

Still haven't found the problem but I found out something else. I jacked the car up on stands and put the car in drive. Once I let off of the brakes it started pulsating. I could put my hand on the brake hose and feel that it was definately coming from the brakes. I also could feel the pulsing coming from the Hydraulic control unit in the engine compartment. I think that is what it is called. It is on the passenger side kinda low in the front. Any ideas or do I need to take it to a real mechaninc? lol.

does anyone know the ohm reading that the sensor should be at?
I thought I had found something cause when I have the car on the stands and in drive it does all of the crazy noises. when i turn off the traction control the noise will go away. So I thought just leave the trac off but when I drove it the car still does the noises and pulsating when I brake and turn at the same time.

after lots of research on the sensors I found that they are fine. The rear sensors were both reading 1625 ohms. I found that between 1200 and 2000 ohms are good. This is a pain in the butt. I am ready to sell my stang cause of this. Guess it is time to come off the wallett and take it to a shop.
