Thanks Anafiel and 81-Explorer, your suggestion was correct. My clicking is definitely caused by my left rear fake wheel cover. Remove it and the clicking disappears - put it back on the clicking returns. Thanks for helping me track it down. Superred, I hope you also get your clicking solved.

Thanks Galendor and thanks for everyones input on the issue. It was indeed the clip on the left front brake that was missing. I found the clip in the driveway a couple of days ago and it was so mangled up, I didn't know what it was until now. I'll be replacing them next week.

Dredging up an old one... I have the same evil click, I will be trying hubcap removal, but I do know that I only have brake pad clips on the inner pads. Should all 4 front pads have clips?
