hey guys need some help

took out my S this weekend since the weather was so nice just to run
the motor and give it a wash was amazing until i discovered this noise.
coming from the passenger rear tire area when braking to a complete stop can only really hear
the noise when im about less than 25km/h anything faster than that wont hear it when i brake
as for the noise its not a grinding, squealing, or rubbing noise sounds some what like a clicking noise
been searching the forums and have come up with a possible axel nut needing to be replace and torque.
anybody experince something like this? any advice would help thanks

i have 68k on it and brakes have been replaced all around right before winter storage

May not be the case, but have you checked your tire for pebbles? Sometimes a pebble will wedge itself in-between the tread of the tire and cause a faint ticking noise while moving at low speeds. It's happened to me many times

Do a visual inspection to rule out any simple/weird stuff. I'd say it's probably the axle, if the visual inspection doesn't yield anything.

I had this problem and searched the most common problem being a loose axlenut.
However, it could be something really simples. I agree to having a visual inspection. mine turned out to be a worn brake pad that where the wear indicator was clicking.

Also your rotors, are they clean or are they covered in surface rust a bit?
