Clicking noise from front driver side brakes
I have a clicking noise coming from my front driver side wheel. As soon as I apply any pressure to the brakes it stops. The faster I drive the faster the clicking is. Brake pads, rotors, calipers, bearings, and entire front suspension is new. I thought maybe lose brake pads so I made some adjustments and got them as tight as possible so there is no play and the noise is still there. Any ideas? I'm stumped I can't figure it out, it's only the one side

How rusty is the rotor, the pad could be hitting a really crusty part of the rotor.

Re: Clicking noise from front driver side brakes
Even though it's in a manual someplace, no one does it; did you squeeze the little ears of the outboard pad to get it to grip the caliper a bit tighter?
Are you using shims behind the pads? Red goop?
Is the dust cap bent/smashed? Is it fully seated in the hub?
Could the cotter pin be catching on the inside of the dust cap?
