    Default QUICK brake question

    okay so coming home from work stuck in 285 traffic, from all the brakin i came to hear a tickin noise coming from my driver side rear brake, when the car is runnin and im slowly brakin is ticks...
    i gave a shot in the dark and thought it was my blown shock, changed it. & still same problem

    so now im thinkin it could be the disc or pad thats un even .. so wat could be causing this problem???
    also when the car jumps in any type of bump, something rattles from that area.. if anyone can plz help me. reps will be given

    maybe the caliper,disc,brake pad??

    that could be a lot of things but if you hear a tick when you first brake the pads are sliding or a worn guide pin but thats unlikely
