    It wasn't bothering me at first and the car really doesn't seem to have a problem at all with the way it handles and what not, but now it's getting on my damn nerves.

    This clocking sound only clicks when I drive but it completely stops when I press on the brakes. It starts again even if the car is moving without no action on the pedal. But again it stops when I brake.

    I know it is coming from the passanger front wheel. What is causing that stupid sound?

    Check the loose or damage hardware holding the brakes...could be something out of round. Either way you need to pull the hub to see

    Its the disc brake pads. You can bend the tabs so they fit more snug in the calipers. Thats how I did mine.
