Clicking sound when applying breaks

When applying the break and slowing down, there's a clicking sound that clicks in relation to the speed of the vehicle. As I gradually slow down, the clicking gradually slows down until I come to a stop. I hear it under 10 mph.

Imagine a spot on the rotor, and every time it passed the 12 oclock position, it clicked. That's the consistency of the click.

Any ideas?

Thinking a warped rotor. It's coming from the rear and seems like it's got worse over time.

remove the caliper bolts then try to apply motor oil ( better) or grease on the caliper bolts...
check the stabilizer ( sway bar) links also.
 
If it's coming from the rear, it's not rotors as you have drums in the back. I had a similar problem that mysteriously went away after going to the SoCal meetup last weekend. Weird.

Have you popped your drums off to see if anything's come loose like the e-brake cable?
 
Lekiboy - Grease on caliper bolts.. out of curiosity, what would that do? Sounds like a temporary fix but I could be wrong. I'll check the sway bars. I feel like it's break related because it's in sync with tire rotation when break is applied.

jsmithjr732 - I haven't done this yet but will. Since the E-brake works fine, could the cable still of come loose?

Thanks for the help. Any other ideas?
