Strange noise while stopping from going in reverse...

Guys, I figured I'd ask here to see if anyone has an idea or explanation as to what is going on.

When I slowly go in reverse (maybe 1-5mph) and then touch the brakes to stop, theres a metallic click type sound that is audible. Seems to be coming from the front end of the car. I'd have to assume it's something with the brakes, but not sure what it'd be.

It only makes this sound when moving in reverse, while initially hitting the brake pedal, before coming to a complete stop.

Any ideas? Only brake mods I have are slotted rotors (which I've had for a year and never caused any probs). I checked the pins that hold in the clips for the brake pads, but haven't really checked anything else.


Any ideas/tips or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Most likely your brake pads shifting in the caliper. Happens in my car ALL the time.

^^^ Kekek is right... Your pads are moving around. Happens to me everytime I drive. Gets annoying sometimes but dont worry.
