Default Weird clicking sound when I....

Put my car in drive a roll about 2 feet then the click click sound stops and only does it when i stop put it in reverse(it also makes a click sound as i roll a few feet in reverse as well but not as bad as i go forward) then back to drive??? Sounds and feel like it is coming from mostly the left front tire area...I am thinking it has to do with the brakes?? My car is an 06 IS350...I have an appointment tomorrow just was wondering if anyone else had this issue. If so any help would be good so when i go to the dealer i can have a better explanation..Thanks

P.S. my car hasn't had the recalls done but they are doing them tomorrow..Bought the car used and the sound only started a few days ago?

Yes, it does have to do with your brakes, but its normal, and is a typical sound for cars using floating calipers.

this happend to me before.. the clicking sound turned into a loud clunk.. and soon after I realized one of the bolts that holds the caliper in place had fallen off.. and the caliper made a nice pinstripe on the inside of the OEM wheel .... towed her home and slapped a new bolt on! back to normal LOL
