After listening to the video, that sounds exactly like the sound I had. Turned out to be the metal rear brake pad guides that sit in the calipers. I greased them up and the noise went away for a while and came back. I later replaced the rear rotors, pads and guides and the noise has been gone ever since.

What exactly are the brake guides? Are those the things the pads sit in? The thin metal piece that snaps on the back of the pad?

Probably a dumb question, but can I get the guides at any auto parts store? Or should I go to the dealership? Do you remember how much the ran you?

I got them online with my pads and rotors. You can buy them through the dealership or online. Local auto parts stores wouldnt carry them.

That sounds like a bushing of some sort that has worn. The axle click is a deff click. You have a sway bar bushing, subframe bushing or something to that effect going on IMO.

That was my initial thought. I'm going to really need to spend a good amount of time under the car to figure it out. I will let you know how it goes

Alright guys so after jacking up the car I did not find anything. I shook my sway bar and moved it around, could find anything wrong. I also took off the wheels and greased all of the pins and pads in my caliper, still no improvement. I doubt I can live through another week of this. Any other ideas? Thanks a lot for the advice that has already been given!

I would recommend actually getting new brake pad guides. I greased mine at first and it didn't really help. When I bought new rear rotors I decided to get the guides as well. I lubed them up and installed them and the noise was gone for good. They are cheap and easy to replace so it's worth a shot. If you do it lube the pins as well.
