Hi! I recently bought a used F-150 with 105,000 miles on it. Most of the time (not all) when I slow down do about 15 mph or less, I start to hear a clicking noise coming from what appears to be the front drivers side wheel area. The clicking is fairly loud, and decreases in frequency as I slow…

It sounds like you need new front brake pads. Clicking when stopping is fairly common when the pads are worn. You should have the front end checked out by a mechanic just to be sure.

Really? I thought there was a wire built into the pads that would ‘squeal’, not click… I’ll take a closer look at the pads this weekend - thanks for your input

Thanks for confirming - I will certainly give them a check before I dig into anything else. Thanks ALL! I’ll update this with my findings…

There is a wear indicator, but brake pads don’t just fail from normal, even wear, either. My 1998 Camry had a front brake pad crack in half before it was truly worn… that made an awful racket that wasn’t anything like a squeal.
