need help--clicking noise

[quahog]

My 03 is making a clicking noise when slowing down. noise seems to be coming from the driver side rear. When I come to a complete stop and start again, no niose. It does not click all the time. Any ideas as to what it could be? Any help would be appreciated.

Does it happen when you are turning?

Is everything in your trunk tied down?

Is your CD changer loaded?

Did you check your rear brakes?

Is something sticking out by the rear wheel and hitting your wheel, like the baseball card effect on a bicycle?

Is your rad fan rubbing only when braking? not right location but possible.

check your wheel center cap too.

quahog, have the parking brake assembly cleaned and adjusted. The Blackbird had the identical problem on the left rear...

I had loose locking lug nuts which clicked when turning due to weight transfer.

Just started hearing this same thing today. Going to check out the parking brake, lugs, and wheel center cap, but after that I'm not sure what to do next. Quahog, you figure out your issue?

Yeah the parking brakes SUCK on this car. No matter how carefully I adjust them, I always see some rubbing on the drum/shoe. I think I'd have to back them off all the way to never rub. Frieking rotor hat parking brakes!!!!
