Default 2008 Lexus ES350 clicking noise coming from rear brake

When I apply the brake I can hear clicking noise from rear brakes. I have troubleshooted as following

1) Checked the brake pads and rotor. They are good
2) The clicking noise is slow or fast as per the speed of the car
3) The harder I press the brake the louder the noise is
4) The noise does not come in reverse

Any suggestion what might be the problem?

It's probably in the wrong forum.

But jack it up and spin the wheels freely, and see if it could be a bad wheel hub.

I am new to this forum so I was not sure which forum to choose to post my question.

I did look at the video and will try the tips in it. In general I doubt it is wheel bearing cause it is not a grinding noise when the car is moving

Can you make a video?
Do you hear it from both sides?


There are many things that can click.

You are right Xioix. I took it to a mechanic and he diagnosed it as bad wheel bearing of rear passenger.

Now another question for the fellow forum members. What is the best after market company for suspension part and wheel bearing. OEM wheel hub assembly is like $500
