When I brake, there is a noise that occurs when coming to a final stop - like clicking. This seem to come and go.
Any ideas. Had brake pads changed last year by Toyoto dealer.

Hi there,

As a precaution have the brakes inspected. This may just be a case of a loose fit pad in the caliper, not a real problem, there are compounds that secure the pad to the piston and help eliminate this click, but get it inspected first to be safe,
