popping/clicking sound at slow speed?

I have tried to search through this site but I havent really found what Im experiencing. At low speed when applying the brakes, like in stop and go traffic, I hearing a popping or clicking sound. It sounds like its coming from the front mostly but I think it could be coming from the rear too. Has anyone else experienced this or know what it is?

Video would be good like he said. You go through and tighten all the bolts to torque spec? Suspension and brake components

ive heard videos of the rear axle click and it doesnt sound like that and its not while excellerating, i only hear while applying the brakes at lower speed. it sounds like creaking/popping/clicking its hard to explain, i will try to get a video on my drive home today. i also have a front wheel bearing going bad but i dont think thats it?

Grab your brake calipers and shake them, do you have any play? Are all the shims present?

Sorry to necropost, but yeah I'm having a similar experience. It's not rear axel click, I already took care of that one, this one comes in when I gently apply the brakes at low speed. its a rythemic click in time with the rotation of the wheels. It also clicks when I step on the brake pedal. Might check the calipers for play and pads for wear. The shims thing mentioned seems like a possibility.

OP, did you end up resolving the issue?
