Default Strange clicking sound from left hand front wheel

I noticed today that my right front wheel makes a clicking. As soon as I press on the brake it goes away. When driving really slow (10 mph or slower) it sounds like a metal scraping sound but still goes away when the brake is pushed. I think it maybe a loose brake pad or clip. But I wanted to confer with the more experienced people on the board. Thanks.

Also could be your axle. Do you have any abnormal grease under the car?

from the post title, I thought for sure we were going to have another member of the https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=510335 club.

But yes, if the scraping is stopping when the brakes are applied, that should be the clip like you thought. I'm not sure if that will do any damage or not, but you should probably get the clip bonded to the pad. Agreed?

Could be the balancing weights hitting the brake calliper. Happened on my car once.
