Default clicking sound

sup all, just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this aggrevating noise i keep hearing. it is a clicking sound that i think is coming from the driver side rear wheel only when i apply the brakes. i am pretty sure it is something in the wheel because as i slow down the clicking slows down. i do not hear it on when the brakes are not being applied.also hope to get some pics of my black 89 coupe up soon.

Could it be one of the brake shoes coming apart. I had this type of noise on my Tahoe (which has rear drums) it turned out to be pieces of the ebrake shoe basically disinigrating into the drum?? Dunno other than that. Good luck with it.

you have a bad wheel cylinder. 89GTRed if your front brakes are clicking you should check that out asap.
