why are my brakes clicking?
The brakes on my passenger side is starting to make a clicking noise during light breaking. Seems like it only happens when the rotors and brakes are cold. When they heat up the brakes squeal instead, which is normal. At first I thought it was my axle but noticed the noise only comes when I tap the brakes. Im a little annoyed by it because I'm wondering of its a defect.

I grabbed the tires and shook them but I don't feel any play. The axle bolts are retorqued by the prior owner. I can see different strike marks. The click is louder than an axle click compared to my last s2000.

I actually can't confirm if its coming from the rear or the front. But yes at 12 and 6 o'clock. I'm assuming it's the brakes and only happen when I lightly touch the peddle. I have to be going less than 5mph. Like waiting in line at McDonalds and pulling up slowly to the window. It could happen multiple times under light braking if I stop and go. I took everything out of the trunk to see if something was possibly shifting. After I drive the car for a while until my brakes begin to squeal, I know they are hot. The clicking/clunking goes away and a squeal and screech takes over. The brakes don't make noise when I'm driving, so they are not dragging
