Default Help with brakes!

Alright, here's the situation guys. When I apply the brakes and get below 25 mph, my right rear brake starts poping/clicking. I know no other way to describe this problem. It happens sometimes, cold or hot, turning or straight driving, but never if I'm going much more than 25-30 mph.

Attempt at fixing this: I've pulled off the wheel and caliper and cleaned them off really well using "Gunk". Then I proceeded to pull the brake pads out and clean those off with hot water. After it all dried i re-assembled it and lubricated them lightly. It fixed the problem temporarily but for the past 3 days it's come back. What do you suggest I do?

ABS sensor? That's the only thing I can think of for poping or clicking. Good luck.

Not sure about this, but have you checked the wheel bearing?

just to summarize this thread up...I ended up changing out the brakes with ceramic ones and there's absolutely no noise. had to use a c-clamp to push in the hydraulic pad of the caliper back in, of course have to open the bleed valve so you don't jack the ABS up. And there we have it.
