My car just started to do this a few days ago. It happens at random but mostly just during slow speed driving, well maybe because i cant hear it when im going faster. Its coming from the passenger side wheel only. What should I check?

It only happens when braking? And how loud is it?

Yep only under braking and it sounds like a loud click, but not a thud. Also its not too consistent, when I try and make the noise It wont, then when im just driving it does.lol

could be a lot, warped rotor, bad wheel bearing, ball joint, or brake pad shims... start with those
