*shrug* I've had a click sound from the rear on initial acceleration since the day I bought the car. Not sure whats causing it, but when I'm backing into my parking spot in my driveway and I have the wheel turned almost to lock, there is a click sound from the rear on slight acceleration.
Oh and I also get the sound when I first hit the brakes at any speed.

I had the same problem, I made a post about it earlier. I took the car back to the dealer took them 3 days to fix it. 1st day they said there was nothing wrong, I went back and test drove the car with a tech. Took the brakes a lil bit to warm up and start the clicking sound at low speeds. After two more days of investigation they found out that it was something with the brake kits spacing, and some other parts need re-greasing. The clicking has stopped so I guess they fixed it for me. I'm at work now so I'm not sure of the exact technical details of what was fixed. Ill post the details later when I go back and find the paperwork. I have 13k miles and I did the TSIB brake pad change around 6k miles.

i've had the clicking noise since the car was new. it did it only when i pull out of the garage and rolled forward for the first time. but at around the 16k mark, it started clicking more often. it even click when i'm at highway speeds and had to hit the brakes suddenly. i was concerned so i brought it in for service. tustin lexus didn't do jack to the car...just said it was normal and wanted to charge my $30 for brake inspection. i was concern so i said go ahead. took them 3 days and they didn't do anything to my car...not even the brake inspection i was willing to pay for. looks like i'm not going there anytime soon.
so i took it to lexus mission viejo and they said the noise was normal and that it was from the front brakes (i thought it was the rear). i asked them to perform the TSB for the lower dust pads and now the brakes are perfect...well, they did scratch up my g-games, but the clicking noise is gone.

Now i have noticed the clicking of clanking more. Every time I brake it will clicl/clank. Until i release the brake all the way it will not click again. Clicking/clanking only happens when the brake is depressed the first time. Anytime after that it will not click unless the brake is released all the way. Can Any one chime in?

i got the same exact sound. only when you press or depress it, and i only hear it when i'm in the garage parking or going too slow, i don't hear it when i brake for the traffic light for example.

DONT WORRY ABOUT it...
Its normal--no seriously its normal.
The brake pads are free floating, so they travel back and fourth.
Try backing up, and press on the brake. Now pull forward and brake.
You should hear it click. NORMAL
Also, have them check the Anti-rattle shims, they might be loose.

Got a question regarding the anti-rattle shims, if it may be loose, aside from the sounds/rattle, is it still safe? Just wondering before I inspect my brakes. thanks
