I have a 2006 honda accord. 113k highway miles. I have noticed a clicking in my front rigth wheel when I start out in the morning. Not sure what Hondas brake wear indicator is. Any ideas?

Most are a tab on the brake pads that SQUEAL like a stuck pig when they touch the rotor, indicating the pads are almost worn out. Clicking is something else, and needs to be addressed.
